Directions

Prep Work: Get your little helpers to wash their hands and put on their aprons. They can also help you by washing the vegetables and cracking the eggs (with some supervision, of course!).
-
Prepare the Sauce: In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
-
Add the Tomatoes: Pour in the canned diced tomatoes, cumin, and paprika. Let it simmer for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
-
Cook the Tortillas: In a separate pan, heat the corn tortillas for 1-2 minutes on each side until they are slightly crispy. Remove from the pan and set aside.
-
Cook the Eggs: Crack the eggs into the pan where you cooked the tortillas. Cook them to your desired doneness (sunny side up is traditional for huevos rancheros).
-
Assemble: Place a tortilla on each plate. Top with a spoonful of the tomato sauce and a cooked egg. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
-
Serve: Enjoy your toddler-friendly huevos rancheros with your little chefs!
