Answer 1

Chilaquiles, pronounced chillahkeeless
Chilaquiles in Green Salsa


2 corn tortillas; stale, cut into pieces
1 cup salsa verde or green salsa
1/3 cup chicken, poached, shredded
2 tablespoon sour cream, thick
2 tablespoon queso fresco; crumbled
2 tablespoon onion; finely chopped

In a frying pan heat oil about half an inch deep, and fry the tortilla strips until they are pale gold, but not too crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels. Heat the sauce, and when it is bubbling, add the tortilla pieces and cook 3 minutes. Pour into a dish and cover with the chicken, sour cream, and cheese. Grill (broil) until the cheese melts and serve, topped with the onion. From The Cuisines of Mexico by Diana Kennedy

I bet you will need to double or triple the recipe once you taste it.

Green Sauce

Ingredients:
1 lb. tomatillos, husked and washed
4 serrano peppers, washed
1/4 onion
1 garlic clove
Cilantro to taste (5 sprigs or so)
Salt to taste
Preparation:
Toast the tomatillos, peppers, onion and garlic on a hot griddle.

Allow the toasted ingredients to cool.

Grind all ingredients in a blender, pour into a serving dish and decorate with chopped onion and cilantro.

Once you start eating chilaquiles you can't stop, they are so yummy, serve with refried black beans. This is the most common recipe, it can also be done with red salsa. Yes, some people add eggs but the vast majority do not, that involves a fried egg sunny side up topping the chilaquiles, but as a rule people prefer without the egg.

Good luck

Answer 2

I believe you are referring to huevos rancheros, you can use either red or green chili to make them... I live in new mexico so we serve them up every where

here is an Americanised version, but pretty close

1/4 chopped onion
16 oz can of tomatoes, S&W Ready Cut is a good choice
3 garlic cloves
4 corn tortillas
4 eggs
Cooking oil
pinch of chili powder
Chili peppers to taste (Serrano, Habanero, Jalapeño)
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 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

sounds like what we in south texas call Migas. is it a scrambled egg dish?
migas is scrambled eggs with sauteed onions, salsa and corn toritillas strips that is fried together.
huevos rancheros is over easy eggs (or sunny side up) topped with a runny salsa served with corn tortillas (or flour)
hope that helps.
