Zucchini Salsa Verde Huevos Rancheros

One of my favorite go-to dishes of all time is huevos rancheros. I have been making huevos rancheros constantly for 30 years! It is a seriously delicious dish with a perfect balance of everything: sweet, salty, creamy, fresh, bright, homey, spicy, comforting, fulfilling.

And the very best thing about it? It can be ready in just a few minutes flat.

I decided to switch up the sauce to try a green sauce (OK, I’ll admit it: my garden is overflowing with zucchinis right now, do you blame me?)

This dish is so simple, there’s really not a “recipe.” So, here goes ~ just throw some zucchinis, jalapeños, tomatillos, onions on the grill until lightly charred. Then, whirl them in your food processor. Add  lime juice, just a little salt and some honey for sweetness and cilantro at the end for freshness. Add in a dash of cayenne pepper sauce if you want a kick.  Such a delightful summer sauce! Then, toast a few corn tortillas in a dry skillet. Ladle on the tortillas your sauce, a cooked egg, some diced chiles and some crumbled queso fresco cheese. Perfection on a plate!

Happy Meatless Monday, everyone!
