Huevos Divorciados with Homemade Ranchero Sauce Recipe with Knorr #SaboreaTuVerano
Post sponsored by Mirum Shopper but all opinions are my own.
Huevos divorciados… the name of this dish always cracks me up! Two eggs on top of crispy tortillas are united yet divided by their sauces, one covered with chile verde or green salsa and another covered with ranchero sauce. I think they are united but they call these “divorced eggs”. Any you call it, this Huevos Divorciados recipe will quickly become on of your favorite breakfasts ever! I know what I'm having for breakfast this Sunday! How about you? Let's get started:
Many of you might know that I eat paleo, which means I don't eat grains or corn. Since this recipe has corn tortillas, substitute other paleo-friendly foods for the tortillas. Here are some ideas:
- chorizo potatoes
- roasted or mashed sweet potatoes
- roasted squash
- steamed broccoli
- onions, peppers, and potatoes
Pick up everything you need to make this dish at your local Walmart. Yeah, they have a grocery section! You might be tempted just buy sauce in a can and call it a day. Don't. It will taste bland and you'll think I was crazy to say “I love this dish”. You also have more control over what is IN the sauce if you make it from home, yourself. You'll need to pick up Knorr Caldo de Tomate Bouillon (Tomato Bouillon w/ Chicken Flavor) to give the sauce the most delicious flavor profile. To make Huevos Divorciados, first you'll need to make the sauce.
