James's Huevos Rancheros
6 6-inch corn tortillas
2 T Vegetable oil
1/2 C Chopped onion
1 Clove garlic
3 Large tomatoes, peeled and chopped
1/4 t Salt
4 oz. Green chiles, undrained
6 Eggs
1/2 C Cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Fry tortillas, one at a time, in hot oil, 5 seconds on each side or just until
softened. Drain tortillas on paper towels. Line a 12x8x2-inch baking dish with
tortillas, letting tortillas extend 1/2 inch up the side of the dish. Set baking
dish aside.
Sauté onion and garlic until crisp-tender in skillet used for frying tortillas.
Add tomatoes, chiles and salt. Simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes, stirring
occasionally.
Pour mixture over tortillas. Make 6 indentations in tomato mixture, and break an
egg into each. Cover and bake at 350°F for 25 minutes. Sprinkle with grated
cheese and bake an additional 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
It is important that man dreams, but it is perhaps equally
important that he can laugh at his own dreams.
