Huevos Rancheros Recipe (Cozy Style)

Ok, so there is the cheaters version and the long traditional version….each are really good. (depends on if you buy the Hatch Huevos Rancheros sauce or make it)

1. Brush each side of corn tortillas with a combo of vegetable oil and melted butter – equal parts (two tortillas per person)
2. In a hot pan – fry/heat tortillas (just long enough to make them soft – a few seconds on each side) – set aside on paper towels
3. Heat refried beans – I usually melt in grated cheese and some Ranchero sauce – keep warm
4. In a baking dish – Spread beans on each of the bottom tortillas. Each serving includes two tortillas (top and bottom) – Sometimes I add bacon and/or chorizo, onions, or peppers on top of the beans.
5. Sprinkle grated cheese over the beans
6. Place the second tortilla on top of the beans (for each serving)
7. Top each tortilla with a little more cheese – cover with foil and place in a warm oven until you are ready for the eggs
8. Cook eggs, fried or scrambled, place on top of each stacked tortillas – top with sauce and cheese. Enjoy!
