Huevos rancheros: "rancher's eggs" is a popular breakfast dish consisting of eggs served in the style of the traditional large mid-morning fare on rural Mexican farms. While the basic dish consists of fried eggs served upon lightly fried corn tortillas topped with a tomato-chili sauce, this is my take on this wonderful dish. We enjoy steak with our breakfast and when we grill, we make sure we have enough for breakfast the next morning. Most of the time it's used in an omelet. This Mexican dish was a nice, slightly spicy, change. I used the flour tortillas. Hope you enjoy!
