Directions
- Prepare the Sobrasada Base:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Stir in garlic and jalapeño, and cook for another minute. - Cook the Sobrasada:
Add the sobrasada to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, letting the Sobrasada release its flavourful oils. - Make the Tomato Sauce:
Stir in the canned tomatoes, smoked paprika, and cumin.
Bring to a simmer, reduce the heat, and let the sauce thicken for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. - Cook the Eggs:
Make four small wells in the sauce with the back of a spoon and crack an egg into each well.
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook the eggs to your preferred doneness (about 3-5 minutes for runny yolks, longer for firm yolks). - Warm the Tortillas:
While the eggs cook, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet, directly over a flame, or in the oven. - Assemble the Huevos Rancheros:
Place a tortilla on each plate.
Spoon a generous portion of the sobrasada tomato sauce onto the tortillas, making sure each gets an egg.
Top with slices of avocado, crumbled feta cheese, and fresh coriander. - Serve:
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over. For extra heat, serve with your favourite hot sauce.
