How To Make - Huevos Rancheros - With Chef Adriana Cavita

tortillas

🥗Healthier: whole grain tortillas

💰Cheaper: store-brand tortillas

Whole grain tortillas provide more fiber, while store-brand options can be more budget-friendly.

black beans

🥗Healthier: kidney beans

💰Cheaper: pinto beans

Kidney beans are nutritious, while pinto beans are often less expensive.

cheese

🥗Healthier: low-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Low-fat cheese reduces calories, while processed cheese can be more affordable.

Heat oil in a pan until very hot.

Cook onion, garlic, and chili manzano together in the hot oil.

Test the oil until it is light brown, then remove excess oil (or add water if low on kitchen equipment).

Add salt and blend the sauce ingredients (strained to remove tomato skin and seeds).

Cook the blended tomatoes with the mixture to enhance flavor.

Taste the sauce and adjust salt as needed.

Add oregano to the sauce.

Ensure the sauce is thick enough to cover the egg but still a little runny for the tostada.

Layer ranchero cheese on top of the tostada.

Garnish with avocado and coriander.
