Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Avocado — Choose ripe avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure. To prevent browning, squeeze some lemon or lime juice over the sliced avocado.
  • Queso fresco — If queso fresco is not available, you can substitute it with crumbled feta cheese or cotija cheese for a similar flavor profile.

Tips & Tricks

  • For an extra kick of heat, add a few slices of pickled jalapenos on top of the salsas.
  • If you prefer your eggs cooked differently, adjust the cooking time accordingly. For fully cooked yolks, cook the eggs for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  • Customize the level of spiciness by adding more or less salsa verde and chipotle salsa according to your taste preferences.
  • Serve with a side of refried beans and Mexican rice for a complete and satisfying meal.
  • Experiment with different types of tortillas, such as corn or flour, to add variety to the dish.

Serving advice

Serve the Huevos Divorciados with a side of refried beans and Mexican rice for a hearty and delicious breakfast or brunch. The combination of flavors and textures will leave you satisfied and ready to tackle the day.

Presentation advice

Arrange the tortillas with the fried eggs on a colorful plate to showcase the vibrant salsas. Garnish with avocado slices, crumbled queso fresco, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for an appetizing and visually appealing presentation.
