Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Corn tortillas
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 large Tomatoes
- 1 piece Jalapeño pepper
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 0.5 piece Red onion
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
- 1 piece Lime
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 piece Avocado
Instructions
To prepare the salsa, dice the tomatoes, red onion, and jalapeño pepper. Mince the garlic cloves and roughly chop the fresh cilantro.
In a medium bowl, mix the tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, and garlic. Squeeze the juice of one lime over the mixture, then stir in the cilantro, salt, and black pepper. Let the salsa sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Lightly crisp each tortilla for about 1-2 minutes per side. Remove and set them aside on a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Crack the eggs into the skillet, ensuring they remain whole, and cook sunny-side-up or to your desired doneness. Season the eggs with a small pinch of salt and black pepper while cooking.
To assemble, place two crispy tortillas on each plate. Top each tortilla with the cooked egg.
Generously spoon the homemade salsa over the eggs. Slice the avocado and add a few slices to each plate for added creaminess.
Serve immediately, garnished with extra cilantro or lime wedges if desired. Enjoy your Flaco Huevos Rancheros!
