Tonight was Huevos Rancheros.
If you're a carnivore, throw some shredded cooked chicken, beef or pork into the mix somewhere along the line. I'd probably stick it in between the beans and the eggs. Even browned hamburger or sausage would be good too. You can't really mess up a dish like this. Just add in whatever you want. Onions, mushrooms, black olives. It's like Taco Bell - I think they only have 7 different ingredients in the entire place, but they throw them together in different combinations and name the result as different menu items. If they throw ALL the ingredients in at once, it's called a Supreme something-or-other.
- One or two Flour Tortillas. I cut the tortillas into 1/2" strips (I use scissors), then hold all the strips in a cluster in my hand and cut the cluster all at once to make 1/2" squares. This makes it easier to eat - no need to cut/rip tortilla while eating - it's already bite sized. Just leave tortilla whole if you want the more traditional look.
- 1/2 Can of Black Beans (preheated)
- Two or three eggs (cooked over easy)
- About 3/4 cup of 505 Southwestern Medium Green Chili Sauce (preheated). I do not like their Mild Chili Sauce, but the Medium is good.
- Shredded Cheese of your favorite variety or mix
- Sour Creme
- One small Sliced Avocado
- One small Tomato. I haven't tried adding this before, but I will next time. I think cutting it into small wedges and arranged among the avocado slices in the final step will look nice. You could get pretty artistic with the sour cream, avocado and tomato and make fun designs. The melted cheese makes a good background to hold all the artwork in place.
