Huevos Rancheros

Make sauce. In a blender combine 1 cup water, 1 tablespoon chicken bouillon base, 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons of flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons Mexican oregano, 1 teaspoon minced garlic, 1 chipotle pepper and 4 chopped Roma tomatoes. Pulse the blender until a slightly chunky sauce forms. Pour the sauce into a saucepan on medium heat bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees (for tortillas). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. In a skillet on medium heat add a tablespoon of olive oil. Add sliced bell peppers and onions to the pan, sautéing until softened about 6-7 minutes.

Add sauteed bell peppers and onions to the sauce continuing to simmer for 7-10 minutes. Remove from heat, cover and keep warm.

Cook chorizo. I use chorizo sausage links instead of the crumbled chorizo because we love it, and it pairs well with this breakfast. Sometimes chorizo sausage links can be hard to find, so I put a link (the computer kind😆) at the bottom of this recipe in the conclusion box to the one I used. In a skillet cook the chorizo links for 6-7 minutes. After 6-7 minutes slice the chorizo sausage in half, cooking it again cut side down on the skillet until a crust forms. Remove from heat and keep warm.

Add tortillas to the prepared baking sheet. Spray with non-stick vegetable cooking spray and place them in the 350-degree preheated oven. Bake them for 10-12 minutes checking them periodically. When the tortillas have browned flip them over and brown the other side. You can also fry them if you prefer. For our homemade tortilla recipe click here: Easy Homemade Corn Tortillas

Eggs should be cooked last. Add a tablespoon or two of vegetable oil to a small frying pan on medium high heat. Crack two eggs in a small bowl or ramekin. Add the eggs to hot pan. I crack the eggs in a ramekin first so just in case one breaks or if shells happen to get in, I can easily fix the problem without having to dig through hot oil.

Plate the dish. Spread refried beans on the tortillas first, then add sauce with onions and bell peppers. Add chorizo sausage and fried potatoes if serving them, for our potato recipe click here: Home Fries Skillet Potatoes
