Huevos Rancheros Traditional Style Recipes

AUTHENTIC HUEVOS RANCHEROS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Fry tortillas one at a time until firm, but not crisp. Remove to paper towels to drain grease.
• Meanwhile, combine the refried beans and butter in a microwave-safe dish. Cover, and cook in the microwave until heated through. When tortillas are done, fry eggs over easy in the skillet. Add more oil if the tortillas have absorbed it all.
• Place tortillas onto plates, and spread a layer of beans on them. Top with cheese, a fried egg, crumbled bacon and if desired, salsa.

AUTHENTIC HUEVOS RANCHEROS RECIPE

Steps:

• SALSA
• Roughly chop the tomatoes, onion, garlic and serrano chile.
• Add to your blender jar.
• Add 1/2 teaspoon thyme to the blender jar.
• Add 2 tablespoons of water.
• Blend until smooth. About 1 minute.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a saucepan to hot.
• Carefully, pour the contents of the blender into the saucepan with the hot oil. (Be careful, the liquid tends to spatter.)
• Simmer for about 10 minutes until the salsa is deep red in color and has thickened slightly.
• Salt to taste.
• TORTILLAS
• Pour 1/2 cup of cooking oil into a medium sized frying pan. The oil should be about 1/4 inch deep.
• Heat the oil to medium hot.

• Drain the tortillas of excess oil on paper towles and set aside.
• SUNNY SIDE UP EGGS
• Use the same cooking oil that you used to fry the tortillas to cook the eggs. Maintain the oil medium hot.
• Add two eggs to the hot oil and slightly tilt the pan to one side so that the eggs set closely together.
• Cook until the white are just cooked through and the yolks are still runny.
• SERVING
• Place 2 tortillas on your serving plate and add a good sized spoonful of refried beans.
• Gently place the eggs on the tortillas.
• Spoon the warm spicy tomato salsa over the eggs.
• Garnish the beans with 3 tortilla chips.

HUEVOS RANCHEROS DIVORCED-STYLE (HUEVOS RANCHEROS DIVORCIADOS)

Steps:

• For the salsa asada: Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the tomatoes, shallots and serranos to the dry skillet and char on all sides, turning occasionally, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the charred ingredients to a blender, add the broth and process until smooth. Return the salsa to the skillet and cook over medium-high heat until the salsa turns a bright red color, 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• For the salsa verde: Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tomatillos, chile, onion and garlic to the dry skillet and char on all sides, turning occasionally, about 6 minutes. Peel the garlic. Transfer the charred ingredients to a blender and process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
• For the Huevos Rancheros: Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the tortillas, 1 at a time, and cook until crisp-tender, 30 seconds per side. Remove the tortillas to a piece of aluminum foil and wrap tightly to keep warm.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the same skillet and fry the eggs until just set, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle with salt.
• Unwrap the tortillas and arrange them flat on 2 serving plates (1 tortilla per plate). Top each tortilla with 2 fried eggs and spoon about 1/3 cup warm salsa asada over 1 egg and another 1/3 cup salsa verde over the other egg. Serve immediately.
