Huevos Rancheros

Huevos Rancheros, or eggs ranch-style, is a popular Mexican dish on both sides of the border.

Recipe Ingredients:

1 tablespoon olive oil
4 green onions, chopped
1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 1/2 cups chili sauce
3/4 cup tomato juice
1/2 cup water
6 large eggs
3/4 cup (3-ounces) shredded Monterey Jack cheese
3 English muffins, split and toasted

Cooking Directions:

1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil. Add chopped green onions and chopped yellow bell pepper. Cook over high heat until tender. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
2. Add chili sauce, tomato juice, and water to the skillet. Stir and simmer for 5 minutes. Break eggs, one at a time, into a cup and slip into the simmering sauce. Simmer until the eggs are set, around 5 to 7 minutes.
3. Serve the eggs on toasted, split english muffins. Pour the sauce over each egg, sprinkle with shredded Monterey Jack cheese and top with the sautéed peppers and green onions.
