Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup salsa
- 2 tortillas
- 1 avocado, sliced
- Cilantro for garnish
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until they are slightly crisp and pliable. Set aside and keep warm.
- In a medium skillet, heat the shredded chicken with half of the salsa over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the chicken is heated through and the salsa is bubbling, about 3-4 minutes.
- In a separate non-stick pan, crack the eggs and cook them to your preferred style - sunny-side up or over-easy works best for this dish. Season the eggs with salt and pepper while cooking.
- Place the warm tortillas on serving plates and spread the heated chicken and salsa mixture evenly across each tortilla.
- Carefully place two cooked eggs on top of the chicken for each tortilla.
- Spoon the remaining salsa over the eggs and around the plate.
- Garnish with fresh sliced avocado and chopped cilantro.
- Serve immediately while the eggs are hot and the tortillas are crisp. Enjoy your Huevos Rancheros con Pollo!
Tips
- Choose the Right Salsa: For an authentic taste, use a homemade salsa or a high-quality store-bought one. Adjust the spice level to your preference by selecting mild, medium, or hot salsa.
- Perfectly Cooked Eggs: If you prefer your eggs runny, sunny-side up is the way to go. For a firmer texture, try over-easy or even scrambled. Just be sure not to overcook them!
- Warm Tortillas: Warming the tortillas not only enhances their flavor but also prevents them from tearing when you assemble your dish. A quick toast in a dry skillet does wonders!
- Add Extra Toppings: Feel free to customize your Huevos Rancheros! Adding toppings like crumbled queso fresco, sliced jalapeños, or even a dollop of sour cream can elevate the dish even further.
- Serve Immediately: This dish is best enjoyed fresh. Serve it right away to savor the warm, crispy tortillas and the gooey eggs.
- Garnish Generously: Don’t skimp on the garnishes! Fresh cilantro and avocado not only add flavor but also a beautiful presentation that will make your dish Instagram-worthy.
