[recipe*] Huevos Rancheros

[Guest guest]

This is one of my favorite weekend breakfasts.

I've shared it here before, so it is in our files,

but since we have quite a few new members

I thought I'd share it again to the list.

 

Huevos Rancheros

 

1 small onion, finely chopped

1 medium green pepper, finely chopped

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 Tbs cooking oil

2 cans (14.5 oz each) stewed tomatoes, undrained

2 to 4 tsp seeded minced jalapeno pepper

2 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp chili powder

1/2 tsp ground cumin

1/2 tsp pepper

6 eggs

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Flour tortillas, warmed, optional

 

In a large skillet, saute onion, green pepper and

garlic in oil until tender.

Stir in tomatoes and seasonings; simmer, uncovered,

for 15 minutes.

Make six indentations in the tomato mixture with a

spoon. Break eggs into indentations.

Cover and cook on low heat for 5 minutes or

until eggs are set. Sprinkle with cheese; cover and

simmer until melted. Serve with torillas if desired.

Yield: 6 servings.
