Huevos Rancheros with onion, chorizo, and tomatoes

From Upcountry Recipes
Huevos Rancheros is a great way to start off your morning. There are many combinations of Huevos Rancheros including using fried egg, bacon, avocado, and refried beans to name a few. The recipe here calls for the following:
  • 3 eggs
  • 4- 8 oz chorizo
  • One small chopped onion
  • One small diced tomato
  • sliced cheddar cheese 
  • fresh herbs - oregano, basil
  • 1 - 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 chili pepper (we use the Hawai'ian chili pepper, but any pepper will work)
  • pinch of salt and pepper
 First heat 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil in a small frying pan. Once the oil is heated, slice the garlic and pepper and add them to the heated oil. Let the garlic and pepper season the oil for about 5 minuets.

Once the oil is seasoned and add the sliced onion and chorizo. I start cooking the chorizo and onions as pictured bellow for about 5 to 10 minuets on medium heat.

Here is the chorizo and onion after it has been stirred and cooked for about 10 minutes.

Once the chorizo has cooked add the eggs. I mix the eggs with the fresh herbs and the salt and pepper before  I add it to the pan in a small bowl or coffee cup. This is what the mix looks like after about 5 minutes on the burner.

 Once all the egg is cooked (about 10 minuets),  add the sliced cheese and broil the top in the stove for about 3- 5 minutes or until the cheese is completely melted. Let it cool, add the chopped tomatoes, and your breakfast is ready.
