Opening Lines

The Friday #56
"The traditional version of this recipe calls for the eggs to be prepared sunny side up, but I prefer scrambled eggs. If you like tradition this recipe is easy to adjust."
Scrambled Huevos Rancheros
4 large eggs
4 6 inch corn tortillas
1 15 oz. can of black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup of shredded Mexican blend cheese
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped finely
Olive oil
Salt and pepper
Directions
Prepare rancheros salsa...
(2 Tbl. canola oil, 1/2 white onion finely chopped, 2 cups canned fire-roasted tomatoes, 2 minced garlic cloves, 2 serrano chiles toasted, Mexican-style hot sauce.)
In a saucepan, drizzle olive oil pan and add garlic for a brief time. Add the drained black beans, a pinch of salt and about 1/4 cup water. Partially mash the beans, and keep them warm over low heat.
In a skillet, heat another drizzle of olive oil and scramble the eggs sunny side up, seasoning to taste with salt and pepper.
Place 1 warm tortilla on each plate. In layers: add beans, the fried egg, salsa and shredded cheese. Top with a sprinkle of cilantro. Serve with the remaining salsa and a bottle of hot sauce on the side.
Tips
To heat your tortillas, stack them between damp paper towels and microwave for about ten seconds.
My Review
A neatly organized cookbook right at your fingertips. Easy to fix main course recipes like Slow Cooker Queso, Chorizo and Black Bean Quesadillas and Cheese Stuffed Jalapenos. Enjoy eating Shrimp Ceviche on a hot day and making a colorful appetizer like Mexican Cheesecake. If you like to make your own Red Sauce or Green Sauce for Cheese Enchiladas, you'll find them here. I like the Sides section from soup to salad, plus grilled corn, rice and muffins. In addition to the main course, the dessert choices such as Flan, Bunuelos and Mexican Wedding Cookies are delicious, too. Overall, you can't go wrong with this eCookbook. It's good and I recommend to friends.
5/5 stars.
