Huevos Rancheros



September 16th was Mexico's Independence Day. They celebrated 200 years of freedom. In honor of the occasion we are writing about my favorite Mexican breakfast, Huevos Rancheros.

This is a simple breakfast that only requires 5 ingredients, tortillas, eggs, tomatoes, green onion, and cilantro.

Traditionally people fry the tortillas in oil until tender then placed on a paper towel, but for a healthy take we just heat up the tortilla then set it on a plate. Next you take an egg, sunny side up, and place it on top of one of two tortillas. then you pour the sauce over.

The sauce is quick and easy. Fry 3 sliced green onions in medium heat for 2 minutes, then add 3-4 chopped tomatoes and cook until desired consistency.
Turn off heat and add chopped cilantro and let it sit for a minute.
Add salt to taste and Tada Ranchero Sauce!
