1. Huevos Rancheros

Huevos rancheros, also known as rancher’s eggs, are commonly served on Mexican farms. These tortillas topped with salsa and fried eggs add heat that you may need on a cold morning. To make this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

• 1 diced onion
• 2 diced green onions
• 2 diced tomatoes
• 2 diced Roma tomatoes
• ⅓ cup cilantro
• ½ teaspoon chili powder
• ½ teaspoon granulated sugar
• Cooking spray
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 4 eggs
• Four 6-inch tortillas
• ½ cup shredded lettuce
• 4 tablespoons Mexican blend cheese
• Salt and pepper for taste

To make the salsa for the huevos rancheros, heat the olive oil and onions in a skillet for about 2 to 3 minutes or until they soften. Add green onions, tomatoes, Roma tomatoes, cilantro, chili powder, and granulated sugar to the skillet and cook an additional 3 minutes. Set the salsa aside and keep it warm.

To prepare the tortillas, spray them lightly with cooking spray and heat them in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook them for about one to two minutes on each side or until they become crispy. Set the tortillas aside, reduce the heat to medium-low, and spray the skillet with cooking spray. Add the eggs, cover them, and cook them sunny side up after adding a dash of salt and pepper. Place the tortillas on plates and top them with the salsa, eggs, and cheese.

2. Breakfast Quesadillas

If you love chicken, beef, or cheese quesadillas, chances are you’ll also love breakfast quesadillas. Warm eggs, bacon, ham, cheese, and veggies between soft tortillas will brighten your mood on a cold, blustery day. To make breakfast quesadillas, you will need the following ingredients:

• 6 large eggs
• ¼ cup milk
• ½ diced green pepper
• ½ diced tomato
• ¼ cup finely chopped onion
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 7 slices of cooked and crumbled bacon
• 1 cup Mexican blend cheese
• 6 medium flour tortillas
• Salt and pepper for taste

To make breakfast quesadillas, whisk the eggs, milk, tomatoes, onions, and green peppers together with a dash of salt and pepper. Melt two tablespoons of butter in a large skillet and cook the egg mixture over medium heat, stirring often until the eggs are no longer runny.

Set the eggs aside and melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the skillet before adding a tortilla shell. Place your desired amount of cheese on the shell, followed by a layer of the egg mixture and a pinch of the crumbled bacon. Top with another layer of cheese and an additional tortilla shell. Press down and heat each side for 2 to 3 minutes or until the cheese melts and the shell turns golden brown. Repeat this process with the remaining shells and serve.
