Huevos A La Mexicano Tacos With Chipotle Honey Bacon Recipes

HUEVOS A LA MEXICANO TACOS WITH CHIPOTLE-HONEY BACON

Steps:

• For the chipotle-honey bacon: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Whisk together the honey and chipotle in a small bowl until combined; set aside.
• Put the bacon slices on a baking sheet in one layer, about 2 inches apart. Bake, flipping once, until the bacon is golden brown and crispy, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven, blot the top of the bacon with some paper towels and carefully pour off any fat from the baking sheet. Immediately brush the top of the bacon slices with the honey glaze and let sit until the bacon cools down and the glaze hardens.
• For the creme fraiche eggs: Heat the butter and oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and some salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the serrano and cook to soften slightly, about 2 minutes.
• Whisk the eggs in a bowl until light and fluffy. Add the eggs to the skillet, dollop with bits of creme fraiche and cook, stirring constantly, just until soft curds begin to form. Stir in some more salt and pepper and immediately remove from the heat.
• Spoon some of the eggs into each tortilla, top with 2 strips of bacon and fold. Serve immediately.
• Roll the masa into four 1-ounce balls; cover them with damp paper towels.
• Heat a heavy skillet over medium heat. Line a tortilla press with a piece of plastic wrap or a self-sealing bag that has been cut so that only the bottom is still attached. Put one of the dough balls slightly off center in the press and close to flatten. Carefully peel the tortilla from the plastic.
• Cook in 30-second increments, turning a few times, until warmed through and lightly toasted. Keep warm wrapped in clean kitchen towels and repeat with the remaining masa, stacking and rewrapping the tortillas so that they steam and stay pliable.

Steps:

• Melt the butter with the oil in a deep skillet, add the onion and the peppers and sauté until the onion is translucent.
• Add the tomato and the eggs, stirring constantly to prevent sticking until the eggs are done.
• Season to taste with salt.

HUEVOS A LA FLAMENCO

Steps:

• Heat a large, heavy skillet over medium heat and add the oil. Saute the onions, garlic, and red pepper for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened but not browned. Add the ham and stir for 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, parsley, bay leaf, salt, pepper and water and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook until the liquid has almost all evaporated and the mixture is quite thick. Discard the bay leaf. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and lightly oil a 9 x 9-inch ceramic or earthenware casserole with 2 inch sides. Spread the sofrito evenly in the base of the dish and break the eggs carefully, one at a time, in a circle on the top. Heap the peas in 3 or 4 mounds in between the eggs and arrange the asparagus and pepper strips as a sort of frame for the eggs. Sprinkle the top with sherry, if desired, and bake for 20 minutes, or until the eggs are done to your liking. Garnish with a few parsley sprigs and serve at once, accompanied by chunks of grilled country bread.
