Huevos Rancheros – Swift and Easy Recipe

4 corn tortillas

Prepared New Mexican red chile

4 eggs – cooked any style

2 tablespoons corn oil

½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup of pinto beans

¼ cup of hash browns, or papitas

Garnish:  shredded lettuce, tomatoes and onions (optional)

Directions: 

1.  Prepare red chile sauce and keep warm (see recipe below)

2.  Heat 1-cup pinto beans, and keep warm.

New Mexican Red Chile Sauce2

Tablespoons flour

2 Tablespoons canola oil or vegetable oil

3 Tablespoons red Chile powder (link to Bueno Foods?)

1 ½ cups water

¼-teaspoon garlic powder or 1 clove fresh, diced finely

¼-teaspoon salt

1/8 or pinch of dried oregano

Heat oil in medium size saucepan on medium to low heat.  After about a minute, add flour and stir constantly so it does not burn.  Cook for approximately one minute and then add red chile powder, continue stirring constantly.  The consistency will be crumbly.  After another minute, begin to whisk in cold water slowly.  Once the sauce begins to boil, add garlic, oregano and salt.  Continue cooking for 20 minutes on low heat. 

Assemble your Huevos Rancheros:

4.  Dip 2 corn tortillas into red chile (or green chile) for 15 seconds each, and put onto a plate, side by side. 

5.  Fry 2 eggs any way you choose and put them on top of the corn tortillas (I like my eggs over medium). 

6.  Top eggs with red chile to cover completely.

7.  Top chile and eggs with cheese. 

8.  Add beans and hash browns aside the eggs. 

9.  Microwave for 1 minute, and top with garnish of shredded lettuce and tomatoes.
