Ingredients:

Ingredients	Quantity
Olive oil	2 tbsp
Zucchini	1
Green bell pepper	1/2
Salt	1/4 tsp
Cumin	1/4 tsp
Diced tomatoes with mild green chilies	1 can
Corn tortillas	4-8
Eggs	4
Cheddar cheese	1/2 cup
Fresh cilantro	4 tbsp

Instructions:

Heat Oil: Begin by heating olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Make sure you have a lid handy for later use.
Sauté Veggies: Add diced zucchini and green bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for approximately 5 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and tender.
Add Tomatoes: Next, add the canned tomatoes with mild green chilies to the skillet, along with salt and cumin. Stir the mixture well to combine all the flavors.
Heat Through: Allow the tomato mixture to heat through, ensuring that all the ingredients are well incorporated and heated evenly.
Warm Tortillas: While the tomato mixture is simmering, heat up the corn tortillas in the microwave according to the package instructions. This step ensures that your tortillas are warm and ready to serve alongside the eggs.
Prepare Eggs: Break each egg into a small cup or bowl, one at a time. Carefully slide each egg onto the tomato mixture in the skillet. Repeat this process for the remaining eggs.
Cook Eggs: Cover the skillet with a lid and cook the eggs until they reach your desired level of doneness. If you prefer your yolks runny, consider breaking them when they’re half cooked and then covering the skillet until they’re fully done.
Add Cheese: Once the eggs are cooked to perfection, sprinkle the cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Cover the skillet again and allow the cheese to melt beautifully.
Assemble: To serve, place one egg and approximately 1/2 cup of the tomato mixture on top of one or two warmed tortillas, depending on your preference.
Garnish: Sprinkle each serving with a tablespoon of fresh cilantro for a burst of color and flavor.
Enjoy! Serve your Brunch Huevos Rancheros immediately, and savor every delicious bite of this delightful breakfast creation. Whether you’re enjoying it with family or indulging in a solo breakfast treat, these huevos rancheros are sure to brighten your morning and leave you feeling satisfied and ready to tackle the day ahead.

Tips for Success:

Don’t overcook the eggs; they should be cooked to your preference, whether that’s with runny yolks or fully set.
Feel free to customize the recipe by adding your favorite toppings, such as avocado, salsa, or sour cream.
If you’re short on time, you can use store-bought salsa instead of preparing the tomato mixture from scratch.
For an extra kick of heat, consider adding a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the tomato mixture.
Serve your huevos rancheros with a side of refried beans or fresh fruit for a well-rounded and satisfying breakfast experience.
