HUEVOS RANCHEROS



Huevos Rancheros image

The eggs in this beloved breakfast dish are sauced with a ranchero-style sauce of roasted tomatoes, spicy ancho chiles and smoky chipotles. To make breakfast easier, make the sauce ahead of time and reheat to serve, adding a bit of water to thin if necessary.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 pound ripe plum tomatoes
3 large cloves garlic, unpeeled
1 small onion (about 6 ounces), quartered
2 ancho chiles, stems and seeds removed
1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon chopped chipotle in adobo, plus 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon adobo sauce
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
One 15-ounce can pinto beans, drained with liquid reserved
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Kosher salt
2 to 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
8 corn tortillas
8 large eggs
Kosher salt
1/2 cup crumbled Cotija cheese
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped white onion

Steps:

  • For the ranchero sauce: Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F and put the tomatoes, garlic cloves and onion on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast the vegetables, turning occasionally, until blistered and charred in spots, about 35 minutes. When cool enough to handle, remove the papery skins from the garlic.
  • Meanwhile, bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add the ancho chiles, cover, and remove from the heat. Let sit for 10 minutes, then drain and pat dry.
  • Put the vegetables and any juices from the baking sheet into a blender. Add the ancho chiles, 1/2 teaspoon each chopped chipotle and adobo sauce and 1/2 teaspoon salt and blend until fairly smooth. Taste; if you want the sauce spicier, stir in the remaining chopped chipotle and adobo sauce.
  • Heat the oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add the sauce (it will sizzle) and 1/3 cup water and cook, stirring, until thickened but pourable, about 5 minutes. Taste and season with salt as necessary. Cover and keep warm over low heat. If the sauce thickens too much, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time to thin it out.
  • For the refried beans: Put the beans in a medium bowl with about half of their reserved liquid and mash with a potato masher until smooth. Heat the vegetable oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering, then add the mashed beans and a big pinch of salt and mash again until smooth. Cook, stirring and scraping with a rubber spatula, until heated through. If the beans seem dry, add some more of the reserved liquid until they are creamy. Taste, season with salt if necessary and cover and keep warm over low heat.
  • For serving: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F and line a baking sheet with paper towels. Heat 2 teaspoons vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add 1 tortilla and cook until the underside blisters, about 15 seconds. Flip the tortilla with tongs and continue to cook until the underside blisters, about 15 seconds. Remove from the pan to the lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining 7 tortillas, adding more oil if necessary. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the refried beans on each tortilla and keep warm in the oven.
  • Using the same skillet the tortillas were fried in, heat 1 tablespoon oil until shimmering, about 1 minute. Crack 4 eggs into the skillet and cook until the edges are crispy and whites are almost set. Cover the skillet with a big pot lid and cook until the whites are completely set, 1 more minute. Remove the tortillas from the oven, top four with an egg, then return to the oven and repeat with the 4 remaining eggs.
  • Top the remaining tortillas with the remaining eggs. Sprinkle each with a pinch of salt, some ranchero sauce, Cotija cheese, cilantro and onion. Serve immediately.

Mom wasn't Mexican, but she could sure cook like she was. This is a delicious brunch dish where eggs are poached in salsa, served on corn tortillas, and topped with cheese, sour cream, and black olives. This recipe would also be good with fresh avocado or guacamole. If you use gluten-free tortillas, which are easy to find, it would be gluten free. Hold the cheese and sour cream and it is dairy free!

Time 20m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup onions
1/2 cup fresh cactus pads
3 eggs
1/4 cup salsa, plus more, if desired
1/2 cup Cheddar

Steps:

  • In a saute pan heat the butter and saute the onions. Add the cactus pads and cook for 3 minutes. Add eggs and mix together. Then add your favorite salsa and Cheddar.

Tips:

  • Utilize ripe tomatoes: Choose tomatoes that are fully ripe and in season for the best flavor.
  • Roast your tomatoes: Roasting tomatoes enhances their sweetness and umami flavor, adding depth to the salsa.
  • Char your tomatillos: Charring tomatillos gives them a smoky flavor and removes their skins easily.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like cilantro and oregano add a vibrant flavor to the salsa.
  • Adjust the heat level: If you prefer a milder salsa, use fewer or milder chiles. For a spicier salsa, add more or hotter chiles.
  • Use a variety of chiles: Experiment with different types of chiles to create a complex flavor profile in your salsa.
  • Don't overcook the salsa: Overcooking can dull the flavors and textures of the salsa.
  • Let the salsa rest: Allowing the salsa to rest for a while before serving allows the flavors to meld and develop.
