Huevos Rancheros

Yield: serves 4

Ingredients:

• 4 corn tortillas
• 4 eggs
• ½ cup shredded cheese
• ½ cup salsa or pico de gallo (freshly made or from a jar)
• Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. In a small frying pan, heat a splash of olive oil over medium heat. Cook the egg sunny side up until the whites are hardened but the yolk is soft.  Add a pinch of salt and pepper on the egg.
2. In a medium sauté pan, heat a splash of olive oil over medium heat and place a tortilla in it. After a minute or 2, turn it over and place the egg on top of the tortilla.
3. Sprinkle about a teaspoon or so of cheese on top of the egg. The heat will melt the cheese. After the cheese is melted (about 1-2 minutes), remove the huevos rancheros from the pan and add about 2 teaspoons of salsa (or to taste) on top.
4. Repeat for the other 3 tortillas.

Serve immediately.
