Huevos Rancheros vs. Shakshuka: What's the difference?

What's the difference between these two Israeli meals? They seem so much the same. Do they blend the two meals?

Mexican Huevos Rancheros and Israeli shakshuka both use the main ingredients of eggs cooked in a tomato-based sauce. Huevos Rancheros uses traditional spice salsa. Israeli shakshuka uses chopped tomatoes flavoured with paprika, cumin, and turmeric. Also, the Mexican version is often served in a tortilla with refried beans and hot peppers, and shakshuka is usually not as hot and eaten with bread.
