Author Notes: An alternative to fried huevos rancheros with a kick of heat from chipotles and homemade tomato salsa. —SoufflesandSawdust
Serves: 2
Ingredients
-
2
tablespoons olive oil
-
1/2
cup chopped onion
-
1/2
cup chopped green bell pepper
-
1
jalapeno, minced
-
1
teaspoon dried oregano
-
pepper
-
1
chipotle in adobo sauce, chopped
-
4
whole eggs
-
1/2
cup shredded Monterrey Jack or Jalapeño Jack Cheese, divided
-
1/4
cup chopped cilantro for garnish
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400°F
- In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, add the olive oil, onion, bell pepper, jalapeño, garlic and oregano. Season with salt and pepper and cook over medium-high heat, stirring, until the onions are lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
- Add the tomato sauce, chipotle and water. Lower heat and simmer until the sauce is slightly thickened, about another 5 minutes. It should stick to the back of a wooden spoon. (If it gets too thick, add a bit more water)
- Spoon the sauce into 2 individual serving dishes and stack the tortilla chips on their edges along the sides.
- Set the dishes on a baking sheet and bake until egg whites are firm but yolks are still runny, about 15 minutes (or a minute or 2 longer if you want the yolks loose but not runny)
- Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and serve.
