Ingredients
Scale
For the Tostadas
- 2 Small Corn Tortilla
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (for frying tortillas)
For the Huevos Rancheros Sauce
- 4 Tomatoes, diced
- 1/2 White Onion, diced
- 2 Serrano Chili, diced
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1 bunch Fresh Cilantro, chopped
- 1 cup Water
- 1/2 tablespoon Chicken Bouillon Powder
- Salt, to taste
For the Eggs
- 2 Free Range Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (for frying eggs)
Instructions
- Prepare the Tostadas: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry each small corn tortilla until crispy and golden brown, similar to a tostada, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and set aside on paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Make the Sauce: In a pot, combine diced tomatoes, chopped fresh cilantro, diced white onion, serrano chili, and minced garlic. Add 1 cup of water, salt to taste, and 1/2 tablespoon of chicken bouillon powder. Simmer the mixture over medium heat to allow flavors to meld and vegetables to soften, stirring occasionally for about 10-15 minutes.
- Cook the Eggs: In a clean skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Carefully crack two free-range eggs into the pan and fry them sunny side up until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Assemble the Dish: Place the crispy tostadas on serving plates. Gently place a sunny side up egg on each tostada. Spoon the warm huevos rancheros sauce generously over the eggs and tostadas.
- Serve: Garnish with additional fresh cilantro if desired, and serve immediately for a fresh and flavorful breakfast.
Notes
- You can substitute chicken bouillon powder with vegetable bouillon for a vegetarian option.
- The serrano chili adds a nice heat; adjust the quantity or omit if you prefer a milder dish.
- Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the best sauce flavor.
- To keep tostadas crispy, serve immediately after assembling.
