When Maria Laura Haddad-Garcia,EatingWell’ssenior nutrition and news editor, has time to sit down and enjoy breakfast over the weekend, there’s often a plate of Huevos Divorciados in front of her. The dish, which features sunny-side-up eggs and both red and green salsas on corn tortillas, is a nostalgic one. Each bite transports her from where she now lives in Texas to her hometown of Chihuahua, Mexico.

“I love sharing my Mexican heritage, especially the foods that I grew up eating, because I love them and I think that people will definitely enjoy them,” says Haddad-Garcia. She notes that people may be more familiar with Mexican dinner recipes like tacos or enchiladas, so sharing this breakfast recipe is a chance to introduce people to more parts of Mexican cuisine.

If you want to riff on the recipe, Haddad-Garcia has a few suggestions. Opt for scrambled eggs instead of sunny-side-up eggs, or swap in Cheddar cheese for the cotija. You can also try adding chorizo, which would add a salty, spicy factor to the dish. However you enjoy Haddad-Garcia’s Huevos Divorciados, we know you’ll want to make it again and again.
