Ingredients
Scale
Eggs and Tostadas
- 2 Free Range Eggs
- 2 Small Corn Tortillas
- 4 tablespoons Olive Oil (divided)
Sauce
- 4 Tomatoes, diced
- 2 Serrano Chilies, diced
- 1/2 White Onion, diced
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1 bunch Fresh Cilantro, chopped
- 1 cup Water
- 1/2 tablespoon Chicken Bouillon Powder
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- Fry the Tostadas: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the small corn tortillas until crisp and golden brown, similar to tostadas. Once done, place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil and set aside.
- Prepare the Sauce Ingredients: Dice the tomatoes, serrano chilies, white onion, and mince the garlic. Place all these diced ingredients along with chopped fresh cilantro into a pot.
- Simmer the Sauce: Add 1 cup of water, chicken bouillon powder, and salt to taste to the pot with the diced vegetables and herbs. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook until the flavors meld and the sauce thickens slightly.
- Fry the Eggs: Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Carefully crack the free range eggs into the pan and cook sunny side up until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny.
- Assemble the Huevos Rancheros: Place the fried tostadas on serving plates. Carefully place the sunny side up eggs on top of each tostada. Spoon the freshly made huevos ranchero sauce over the eggs and tostadas.
- Serve: Garnish with additional fresh cilantro if desired and serve immediately while hot for a delicious and satisfying breakfast.
Notes
- You can substitute chicken bouillon powder with vegetable bouillon for a vegetarian version.

- To make it gluten free, ensure the corn tortillas are 100% corn with no flour additives.
- Use fresh, ripe tomatoes to enhance the sauce’s flavor.
- Serve with slices of avocado or refried beans for a fuller meal.
