Let's Make Huevos Rancheros

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.

Start with a non-stick skillet over low heat.

Crack the eggs into the skillet for sunny-side up cooking.

Sprinkle the eggs with salt (pepper optional).

Prepare the tortillas by spraying them with oil and placing them in a microwave for 1 minute in a heavy-duty bag.

Carefully open the bag after microwaving to avoid steam burns and check the tortillas for softness.

Slide the cooked eggs onto the warm tortillas.

Scrape the roasted tomato salsa into the skillet to warm it up, adding a little water if it's too thick.

Bring the salsa to a rolling boil and spoon it over the eggs on the tortillas.

Garnish with crumbled Mexican queso fresco and cilantro leaves, and optionally diced avocado.
