Directions:
For the ranchero sauce:
Heat a medium size skillet. Add 1 T ½ TBL oil, the diced onions and a sprinkle of salt. Sautée until you see a medium caramel color. Stir often. This will take about 8-10 minutes. Add salsa, cumin and the broth or water. Simmer sauce over low - medium heat until heated through. Turn off heat and let rest. The sauce may thicken, if needed add more stock in tablespoon increments to thin out.
For the tortilla chips:
Heat oil a ½ inch deep in a fry pan. Oil is ready when it softly starts to bubble or use a portable fryer. Carefully place the cut tortillas in the pan and fry until crisp (about 1-1 1/2 minutes). Spoon the oil over the tortilla wedges. Remove from the pan. Place the chips between paper towels to absorb the oil. Sprinkle with salt and chili powder.
For the beans:
Warm up the beans. Divide and portion the beans equally into 4 bowls.
For the eggs:
Cook the eggs 2 at a time. Over easy or to your liking in a skillet with 1 1/2 tsp of butter or oil.
To serve: Layer the beans, eggs, sauce, garnishes and chips around the sides.
