Mexican Eggs Benedict
Mexican Eggs Benedict is a fancy fun breakfast using toasty tortillas, guacamole, leftover meat, homemade ranchero sauce, and a perfectly poached egg. Brighten up your morning with this incredibly tasty Mexican style eggs benedict.
Ingredients
- ½ cup vegetable oil for frying
- 6 street taco flour tortillas
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 2 tsp white vinegar
- 6 large cold eggs
- 1 ½ cups
Guacamole double batch - 1 ½ cups
Carnitas Chicken or other meat of choice such as chorizo, pulled pork, or leftover taco meat, heated - 1 ½ cups
Huevos Ranchero Sauce heated - garnish: chopped cilantro and fresh sliced jalapeno
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a medium skillet. One by one, add a tortilla and cook until very golden on the bottom, flip, and repeat for the other side. Use kitchen tongs to pop a hole and release air if they puff too much.
- Heat ~3-inches water in a pot to a simmer. Add the salt and vinegar.
- Crack an egg into a small bowl. Use the end of a wooden spoon to stir the water in the pot to make a gentle whirlpool (stress gentle, we don't want a tsunami). Gently pour the egg into the center of the whirlpool. Turn off the heat, place on the lid of the pot, and cook 5 minutes. Immediately remove the egg with a slotted spoon.
- While egg is poaching (no peeking!), take a toasted tortilla and spread a layer of guacamole, then chicken. Top with the poached egg and ranchero sauce. Garnish with cilantro and jalapeno.
Notes
If desired, more than one egg can be poached at a time. In this case, do not make the whirlpool. Simply space eggs apart from each other and proceed.
