Treat your ingredients with care...
- Chorizo — Choose a high-quality Spanish chorizo for an authentic flavor.
- Smoked paprika — Opt for a sweet or hot variety, depending on your preference.
- Canned diced tomatoes — Look for tomatoes without added salt or sugar for a healthier option.
- Fresh cilantro — If you're not a fan of cilantro, you can substitute it with fresh parsley.
- Crusty bread — Serve with a rustic Spanish bread like ciabatta or baguette for an authentic touch.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra kick of heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the sauce.
- If you prefer a milder flavor, remove the seeds from the Spanish peppers before adding them to the sauce.
- Customize your Huevos Rancheros by adding toppings like sliced avocado, crumbled feta cheese, or a dollop of sour cream.
- Serve with a side of Spanish-style potatoes or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
- If you're short on time, you can use store-bought tomato sauce instead of canned diced tomatoes.
Serving advice
Serve the Spanish-style Huevos Rancheros hot, straight from the skillet. Accompany it with warm crusty bread to soak up the flavorful sauce. Garnish with fresh cilantro for a pop of color and a hint of freshness.
Presentation advice
Present the Huevos Rancheros in individual serving plates, ensuring that each plate has a generous portion of the flavorful sauce and a perfectly cooked egg. Sprinkle some fresh cilantro on top for an appealing touch. Serve with a side of crusty bread to complete the presentation.
