Huevos Rancheros with Green Chile

Print Recipe

Huevos Rancheros with hatch green chile sauce is the BEST! Made with warm tortillas, fried eggs, green chile sauce and all the toppings!

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 2-4 tablespoons butter or olive oil
  • 1-2 cups green chile sauce
  • 8 eggs
  • 1/2 cup cheese (cheddar, cotija, queso fresco)
  • 1 avocado - sliced into strips
  • handful cilantro - chopped
  • kosher salt
  • Additional toppings: chopped tomato, onion,

Instructions

  1. Prepare tortillas - see post for crispy tortilla instructions.
  2. Soft Tortillas: add small drizzle of oil/butter into a large pan over medium heat.
  3. Add 3-4 tortillas, lightly salt, and fry both sides until soft and glistening. Repeat with remaining tortillas. 
    1. OR: wet a few paper towels. Place tortillas inside, and use paper towel to fully wrap tortillas. Microwave on high for 15-20 seconds until hot.
  4. Get 4 serving plates and add 2 tortillas to the bottom of each plate. 
  5. Add 1-2 tablespoons oil/butter to a large frying pan.
  6. Crack 4 eggs into pan. Season with salt and pepper. 
  7. Cook as desired, I love this dish wish a runny yolk, so I cook them over-easy.
  8. While eggs are cooking, add green chile to large microwave safe bowl. 
  9. Place a wet paper towel over the top of the bowl (keeps it from splattering).
  10. Microwave on high for 1.5 minutes.
  11. Remove from microwave, stir, and continue cooking in 1.5 minute increments until sauce is heated all the way through. 
  12. When the first 4 eggs are done, remove them from the pan.
  13. Place one egg on top of one tortilla. Repeat for the next 3 eggs. 
  14. Add 1-2 tablespoons of oil to the same pan. 
  15. Crack remaining 4 eggs, seasoning and cooking as desired. 
  16. Plate the remaining eggs, one egg per tortilla.
  17. Take warm green chile sauce and "smother" each plate with 1/2 cup of sauce (or more!) - making sure to cover both eggs. 
  18. Top eggs with cheese, avocado, cilantro, and any additional toppings you desire.
