Notes

WHAT KIND OF SALSA DO I USE?

OF COURSE, the best salsa to use would be the fresh salsa recipe listed above! It is SO good and full of fresh healthy ingredients. Make a big batch of it a day or so before so you don't feel rushed or over worked when making the huevos rancheros.
You can also purchase your favorite salsa, or the best fresh salsa your local grocery store has.
