Authentic Huevos Rancheros?

Question

We have all had it...a version of Huevos Rancheros that isn't exactly Huevos Rancheros. For instance, this morning, I mixed salt, pepper, salsa, and cheddar cheese with eggs and scrambled. I served it with whole grain torteillas. lol So anyway...this isn't exactly the real deal.

Do you know what the real deal is?

Answer 1

There are many versions of huevos rancheros, some with cheese, beans or grilled chiles. The most authentic way to make huevos rancheros is very simple, eggs and salsa, served with corn tortillas. Huevos rancheros are a Mexican tradition.

INGREDIENTS:
4 eggs
1 cup fresh salsa
4 corn tortillas
oil
salt to taste
PREPARATION:
Pre-heat oven to 500 degrees. Coat each tortilla in oil and place on cookie sheet. When oven is ready, cook for approximately 5-10 minutes, depending on how crisp you like your tortillas.
Heat oil in small frying pan, cook each egg slowly on one side until whites are firm and yolks are runny.

Salt to taste. Place one egg on each tortilla.
Heat salsa in the pan on high heat for about 2 minutes or until extremely hot. Pour 1/4 cup over the top of each egg which will further cook the top of the egg. Let it sit for about 1 minute before serving.

Answer 2

Huevos Rancheros

1/4 chopped onion
1 16oz can tomatoes
3 garlic cloves
4 tortillas
4 eggs
Cooking oil
pinch of chili powder
Chili peppers to taste
shredded Monterey Jack or Manchego cheese


Chop the onion and chili peppers.

Mash the garlic with a press, or simply by smashing it or cutting it into tiny pieces.

Set small frying pan in mid-high heat. Add 1 dash of oil to frying pan.

Add the tomatoes, onion, garlic, chili powder and chilis. Once the sauce is boiling, reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes.

On a larger frying pan, put some oil and fry two tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side.

Put the tortillas on a plate, and fry two eggs without overcooking them or cooking the top of the egg.

Place one egg on top of each tortilla, and fully cover the eggs with the sauce. The sauce will cook the top of the egg.

Now repeat the frying stages for the tortillas and the other eggs.

Serve with beans and some shredded cheese on top!

Tips:
Make sure that you only use a pinch of chili powder, otherwise the sauce will have a sweet taste.

Answer 3

I am not sure if this is the "real deal" but I make eggs with chorizo sausage (authentic) with Velveeta and it is wonderful. You can add almost anything you want to suit your taste. The must is that you use flour tortilla shells. This meal is good for NOT just breakfast.
