Lindy's Ultimate Huevos Rancheros with Roasted Chiles
Huevos Rancheros can be so much more than just a fried egg, with salsa on a limp tortilla. Adding roasted green chilies to traditional Huevos Rancheros recipes amplifies the flavor profile significantly. So kick it up with this recipe for Lindy's Ultimate Huevos Rancheros with Roasted Chilies.
Ingredients
- 8 small (4-inch) or 4 (6-inch) large corn tortillas
- oil for frying I used grapeseed
- 2 7-ounce cans of Ranchera sauce or your favorite homemade ranchero sauce
- 1 recipe for Savory Black Beans or canned black beans doctored up with some cumin and oregano if canned, partially drain
- 2 poblano chilies or 4 Anaheim or Hatch Chilies
- 4 - 8 fresh eggs I only use one egg but you can use as many as you wish
- butter for frying eggs (if using the frying method)
- Cotija cheese* or Feta
- Crema or sour cream (optional)
- 1 avocado sliced
- Salsa optional
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a small fry pan and fry the tortillas until they begin to crisp. Remove to paper towels to drain. Sprinkle with salt. Set - aside. Drain the oil and heat the ranchera sauce - keep warm.
- In a small saucepan, heat the beans, loosen with a little water if they seem too dry. Lightly mash.
- Roast the peppers whole in a broiler, when blackened, place in a bowl; cover with plastic wrap. After about 15 minutes, remove from the bowl, and skin. Seed and slice.Or, In a small skillet, heat some oil over medium heat; add seeded sliced peppers and sauté until soft and tender (the cooking really mellows out the flavors of the peppers).
- Heat butter in another skillet and cook the eggs to your preference. (We like them soft, so over easy. I also wait to cook the eggs until the initial assembly is done so they are hot and fresh and don't over-cook). Or use one of the other cooking methods.
- To assemble: Dip the tortillas into the ranchera sauce and put on a warm plate. Spread the beans over the top, then give a little sprinkling of Cotia cheese. Split the sautéed peppers amongst the plates and spoon on top of the beans. Now, I fry my eggs; place 1 - 2 eggs on top of each serving. Spoon a bit more Ranchera sauce over, sprinkle with Cotija, add the avocado slices and top with Crema (or sour cream) and top with salsa if desired. Serve hot.
