So, I had the other half of the tomatillo salsa left over from last week’s recipe, and I needed to put it to good use. When I’d been reading and doing research for the Chilaquiles I made last week, some recipes articles pointed out that this is actually more of a breakfast dish. Aside from just being a huge brunch fan in general, I love getting huevos rancheros, and this seemed like it could be a bit similar.
The only change I made from the recipe on last week’s post was to omit the chicken. Instead, I layered the tortilla chips, cheese, and salsa and baked it in the oven. I even had some left over black beans and rice that I could serve on the side. The rest of the adjustments are easy. I used blue and yellow corn tortillas to make the dish a little more colorful. Then, I fried up an egg to serve with the baked dish. Sprinkle w/ extra chopped coriander/fresh cilantro. Serve with guacamole and sour cream if desired.
Huevos Rancheros – a great way to start a Sunday!
To accompany this, you could try one of the Sunrise Mimosas from my Easter Brunch post last year. Or maybe treat yourself to that raspberry margarita. As this article points out, you might even end up with some antioxidant benefits – now that is good news we can use!
Buon appetito!
