    Meanwhile, in 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Add bell peppers, onion and salt. Cook 5 to 7 minutes or until softened and beginning to brown on edges. Transfer to medium bowl; set aside. Wipe out pan.

  • Huevos rancheros directly translates to “ranch-style eggs.” The delicious dish was a staple with farmers in rural Mexico. Fortunately for you, huevos rancheros has become popular on brunch menus all over the United States so you don’t have to grab your passport and head for the border to enjoy this savory, flavor-packed breakfast! In our version, we replaced the traditional corn tortillas with crispy tortilla chips. And bonus! Since the recipe is in a bowl, there’s plenty of room to load up on black beans, rice and crumbled queso. Don’t understimate that rancheros sauce, either! Made with fire-roasted tomatoes, chili-garlic sauce and a squeeze of fresh lime, you’ll have a hard time not drizzling it over everything.
