This is a very busy time for me at work. Five times a year I am glued to my chair for about a week. All my focus is on excel charts and software programs and when I get home I feel like I have run a marathon. Not only that, but I’m yearning for a little comfort in the form of food.
I knew I wanted to make something quick and simple and huevos rancheros came to mind. Of course I add in shortcuts to help me get to plating faster, but the shortcuts do not mean I am short on flavor.

shortcut huevos rancheros
makes 2 servings
- 4 eggs
- 4 corn tortillas
- 2 tablespoons of oil
- 2 tablespoons of cheese for crumbling, I used queso fresco
- 1 small can of tomato sauce
- 1 small can of green chiles
- 1 teaspoon crushed garlic
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Optional: guacamole & cilantro for sprinkling
- Start by heating a skillet on medium-high and add the oil to the pan.
- Carefully lay one corn tortilla at a time in the pan and lightly fry on both sides.
- Set aside on a paper towel to drain.
- Once all four tortillas are cooked, turn the heat down to low and add in the crushed garlic, tomato sauce, green chiles and cumin.
- Stir to combine.
- Once the sauce is bubbly, add the four eggs in, creating a small well for each egg.
- Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper and cover with a lid letting it simmer until eggs are cooked to your liking.
- Put two fried corn tortillas on a plate and top each with one cooked egg.
- Pour the sauce over the top.
- Finish with a sprinkling of cheese and cilantro and a dollop of guacamole.
