Ingredients

• 4 corn tortillas
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup homemade or store-bought salsa
• 1/2 cup crema or sour cream
• 1/4 cup chopped green onions
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 lime, cut into wedges
• Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make Huevos Rancheros Stack

1. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the corn tortillas, cooking for about 1 minute on each side until they are crispy but not burnt. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
2. In the same skillet, bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer. Crack the eggs into the simmering water, one at a time, and poach for about 3-4 minutes or until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.
3. To assemble the stack, place one crispy tortilla on a plate. Spoon a generous amount of salsa over the tortilla, followed by a poached egg. Drizzle with crema and sprinkle with chopped green onions.
4. Repeat the layering process for the second stack, using another tortilla, salsa, poached egg, and toppings. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.

Tips for the Best Results

• For perfectly poached eggs, ensure your water is gently simmering and add a splash of vinegar to help the egg whites set faster.
• Customize your salsa with diced avocados, jalapeños, or cilantro for added flavor.
• If you prefer crispy eggs, you can fry them instead of poaching.

Easy Variations

• Swap corn tortillas for flour tortillas for a different flavor and texture.
• Add black beans or refried beans between layers for extra protein and fiber.
• Top with sliced avocado or fresh cilantro for a gourmet touch.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side
• Crispy bacon or chorizo for added protein
• A simple green salad with lime vinaigrette
• Coffee or fresh juice to complement the meal
