  • 2 medium tomatoes, diced

  • 1 avocado, sliced or mashed (for guacamole)

  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (optional)

  • 2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil

  3. Add diced tomatoes and cook until they soften and the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.

  4. In a separate pan, fry or scramble the eggs as you like.

  5. If using, cook chorizo or steak until done.

  6. To serve, layer the sautéed vegetables on a plate. Add eggs on top. Pour the salsa or rancheros sauce over everything.

  7. Add sliced avocado or guacamole and sprinkle cheese if using. Garnish with cilantro.

Notes

  • For a vegan brunch idea, swap eggs for tofu scramble.

  • You can make a casserole version by layering ingredients in a baking dish and baking at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes.

  • Use low-carb wraps for a huevos rancheros breakfast burrito.

  • This recipe works well in an air fryer for a crispy finish.
