Homemade Restaurant-Style Huevos Racheros Recipe

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.

Soak the dried hot peppers in water for a little while to reconstitute them.

Grind the dried spices (oregano, allspice, clove) until fine.

Blend the tomatoes, onion, and garlic together until smooth using a stick blender.

Add the reconstituted hot peppers to the blender along with the ground spices and blend until smooth.

Reserve the soaking liquid from the hot peppers for later use.

Strain the blended mixture to remove seeds for a better texture.

Heat a little oil in a pan and add the strained sauce, cooking it down until thickened, stirring occasionally.

While the sauce is cooking, cook the eggs sunny-side up in a separate pan.

Warm the carnitas in a pan until the fat melts and they are heated through.

Assemble the dish by placing refried beans on a plate, followed by a crispy corn tortilla, sunny-side up eggs, and the ranchero sauce on top.

Garnish with cilantro and serve.
