SIMPLE huevos rancheros
A very simple way to make "huevos rancheros" (ranch eggs) as they are known in Mexico and offered for breakfast.
The simple ingredients are corn tortillas and eggs, the "salsa" can be bought in the US or made at home.
Store purchased salsa made by ROTEL, diced tomatoes and green chiles, mild or hot your choice or if they have the brand HERDEZ, salsa casera or salsa verde.
Made at home salsa is not too hard to make, use the Roma tomatoes if possible "better taste", one small yellow onion if you want not all of it, no ajo (garlic), the white onions are to strong in taste and of course one Jalapeno diced or two depending on your tolerance for pain and suffering.
Heat the 2 corn tortillas in a "comal" ( real ones are made from clay and cured with "cal" (lime), otherwise they are a round flat and made of thick sheet metal, if you do not have one a frying pan works with no oil or grease until the tortilla is nice and hot do not over heat they have to be pliable, or heated with the microwave oven (DO NOT use flower tortillas).
At the same time fry one or two eggs with a bit of salt not too much, no pepper, once the eggs are done place one hot tortilla on a plate and the egg(s) on top and the salsa on top, the other tortilla is rolled and used to push the eggs on the fork and you have a good simple breakfast, and enjoy with a good cup of coffee if it is "café de olla" even better.
Buen provecho
