Ingredients

• 4 corn tortillas
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup salsa (store-bought or homemade)
• 1/2 cup sour cream or Mexican crema
• 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, queso fresco, or your choice)
• 2 green onions, sliced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste

How to Make Huevos Rancheros Stack

1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the corn tortillas one at a time, cooking each for about 30 seconds on each side until they are soft and slightly golden. Remove them and set aside on a plate.
2. In the same skillet, crack the eggs into the pan, being careful not to break the yolks. Cook for about 2-3 minutes for sunny-side-up eggs or until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny. Season with salt and pepper.
3. To assemble, place one tortilla on a serving plate. Spoon a layer of salsa over the tortilla, followed by a cooked egg. Sprinkle with shredded cheese and a dollop of sour cream or crema. Repeat this layering process with the remaining tortillas, salsa, and eggs.
4. Once all layers are stacked, garnish the top with sliced green onions for a fresh touch.
5. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Huevos Rancheros Stack!

This dish is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop over low heat until warmed through. Be mindful of the eggs; if they are reheated too long, they may become rubbery.
