Inspired by a recent blog post on seriouseats.com, I bought some Maseca (corn flour) and made homemade corn tortillas. By some I mean 24. With all these leftover tortillas sitting around I reminisced of my trip to Mesa Grill in New York and the wonderful Huevos Rancheros I enjoyed there. Here is my feeble attempt to re-create that.
Makes 1 serving
Ingredients:
2 eggs
1/2 t cayenne pepper
2 homemade corn tortillas (see maseca package for recipe)
1 can jalapeno refried black beans, warmed in microwave (trader joes brand is pretty good)
1/2 cup of shredded cheese
2 T sour cream
3 T fresh salsa
1 T fresh chopped cilantro
half of an avacado
cooking spray
Directions:
Preheat oven or toaster oven to 400. Spray tortillas with cooking spray and bake until crisp, about 8 minutes. Meanwhile cook eggs over easy and sprinkle with cayenne. When tortillas are crisp, spread first tortilla with black beans to cover, top with cheese, half of salsa, 1 egg, and half of sour cream. Repeat layers with second tortilla, adding cilantro and avacado to garnish. I served mine with hashbrowns and hot sauce (my favorite is pictured).
I loooooove, huevos rancheros. Casa has the BEST. I too recently purchased some corn masa and will definetely make sure to have some left over next time for this. How did it turn out?
ReplyDeleteI also love huevos rancheros. The best preparation I've seen (excluding Andy's of course) was on America's Test Kitchen. I watched a short video on their website and they made homemade beans with actual lard. Great dish - I'm still jealous of your Bobby Flay eating experience.
