Best 2 Better Than The Other Huevos Rancheros Recipes

THE BEST HUEVOS RANCHEROS RECIPE

Steps:

• Warm the ranchero sauce on the stovetop. Pour the beans in a small sauce pot. Warm over medium heat until simmering, then turn off the heat.
• Place the chorizo in a large nonstick skillet and set over medium-high heat. Break the chorizo apart with a wooden spoon, and brown for 5-10 minutes, until the chorizo starts to turn crispy. Pour the chorizo onto a plate.
• Wipe the skillet out with a paper towel, then add 2 tablespoons oil and set back over medium-high heat. One at a time, add the tortillas. Let them puff up for 3-5 seconds, flip and repeat. Then remove the tortillas, and set on paper towels to drain. Repeat until all the tortillas are puffy and golden.
• Using the same skillet, cook the eggs to order. Traditional Huevos Rancheros are made with sunny side up eggs, but I personally like scrambled eggs in this dish.
• To Serve: Place two tortillas each, on five plates. Top with warm black beans, eggs cooked to order, chorizo, ample ranchero sauce, sliced avocado, and queso fresco.

HUEVOS RANCHEROS

Steps:

• Wrap the tortillas in aluminum foil, and heat in a 350-degree oven while you prepare the salsa and fry the eggs.
• Place the tomatoes, chiles, garlic and onion in a blender and puree, retaining a bit of texture.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the canola oil over high heat in a large, heavy nonstick skillet, until a drop of puree will sizzle when it hits the pan. Add the puree and cook, stirring, for four to ten minutes, until the sauce thickens, darkens and leaves a trough when you run a spoon down the middle of the pan. It should just begin to stick to the pan. Season to taste with salt, and remove from the heat. Keep warm while you heat the tortillas and fry the eggs.
• Warm four plates. Fry the eggs in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. You won't need much oil if you have another nonstick skillet. Use the remaining tablespoon of oil if necessary. Cook them sunny side up, until the whites are solid but the yolks still runny. Season with salt and pepper, and turn off the heat. Place two warm tortillas on each plate, overlapping if you are only serving one egg. Top with one or two fried eggs. Spoon the hot salsa over the whites of the eggs and the tortillas, leaving the yolks exposed if possible. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve.
