Recipe Notes
There are hundreds of variations on Huevos Rancheros, and this one is based on the dish my friend Anita Corey used to serve in her restaurant. It is great topped with salsa. If you are going to choose a bottled salsa, look for one with less salt. The sodium content of the national brands like Old El Paso and Pace is really high. Often the smaller, local brands are better tasting and low in sodium.
For example, I used Old San Antonio Tomatillo Salsa on my Huevos Rancheros. It’s delicious and has only 100 milligrams of sodium per 2 tablespoon serving.
