You won't go hungry with this filling meal. It's loaded with Mexican flavor and piled high with rice and beans. This lighter huevos rancheros recipe features traditional ingredients like tomatoes, peppers, and eggs, and it brings the heat with jalapeños and hot pepper sauce. You can turn up the heat even more by substituting serrano or habanero peppers for the jalapeños or by incorporating ground red pepper, cayenne pepper, or extra hot chili pepper. For a milder dish, use canned mild chopped green chiles that add lots of flavor without making you sweat. This version is served over rice, but you can pile the filling over corn tortillas or wrap them in a burrito.
