As a Brit living in Chicago for 5 years, I fell in love with Huevos Rancheros at Lazo's restaurant on Western Ave. Sadly, I had to leave the U.S. when my visa ran out, and am back in rainy Scotland, but I had a little taste of 'home' with this recipe. Absolutle heaven, and I made it for my guy's 30th birthday this morning. Following his presents and breakfast mimosa, the first thing he said after his initial bite was, "Ah, best present so far!!" I've been searching for a great Huevos Rancheros recipe, and the eggs cooked amazingly well in the sauce mixture. I added 1/2 teaspoon of cumin, as I love the taste of that, but other than that, the recipe was perfect. Served with homemade pico de gallo over tortillas with refried beans and cheese. Thank you for posting such an easy and delightful recipe.

Makes a lot of sauce. I froze some for another breakfast. Delish! Thanks.

Fabulous dish! Everything about this was great - the ease of prep, the clear and accurate instructions, the color and look of the finished dish, and the wonderful taste. Even the amount of heat was perfect - very spicy, enough to clear those sinuses, but not enough to overpower the rest of the ingredients. I did use the full tsp of hot sauce as well as a whole chili pepper (which I partially seeded). Thanks - a real winner!

This was great! I scaled it down to 2 servings, and instead of the tomato/tomato sauce/water, I used a can of petite diced tomatoes w/ the liquid and I thought it turned out wonderful! Very tasty.
