Huevos Rancheros {Egg Tostada}
Homemade Huevos Rancheros that’s every bit as good if not better than at a restaurant.
If it were up to me, any time is the right time for Mexican food.
My favorite part about Mexican food is the crispy tortillas.
Crispy tortillas are simple to cook and can really make a recipe taste like something out of a Mexican restaurant.
I almost always have a small skillet on the stove with canola oil in it, ready to go for frying corn tortillas because I make Mexican food so often.
About this Recipe
