Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 8 grain free tortillas
- 4 eggs
- 1 lb chorizo sausage (casings removed if not ground)
- Avocado for garnish
- cilantro for garnish
Easy Ranchero Sauce
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ onion diced
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 15 oz can tomato sauce
- 4 oz can chopped green chiles
- ½ cup chicken stock
- 1.5 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tbsp coconut aminos
- ½ tsp sea salt
Instructions
- Make the ranchero sauce. Heat the olive oil in a sauce pan over medium heat. Add in the onions and garlic and saute for a few minutes until the onion is softened. Add in the remaining ingredients and stir. Let it simmer over medium low heat for 5 minutes. Use an immersion blender to combine the ingredients (or you can leave it chunky if you prefer). Set the sauce aside.
- Cook the chorizo: Saute the chorizo for 5-7 minutes or until it is completely browned and cooked through. Remove it to a plate. Using the same pan, fry your eggs.
- Heat your tortillas (I like to do this oven an open flame on my gas stove to get them charred), then top 2 with some of the ranchero sauce, chorizo, 1 egg, avocado, and cilantro. Add more sauce if desired. Serve and enjoy!
