Huevos Divorciados (Fried Eggs on Corn Tortillas with Two Salsas)
- 1/2 pound plum tomatoes
- 1/2 pound fresh tomatillos, husks discarded and rinsed
- 2 fresh jalapeno chiles
- 1 (1-inch) wedge large white onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup water
- 4 to 8 tablespoons corn or vegetable oil
- 8 large eggs
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 8 (6- to 7-inch) corn tortillas
- Make salsas: Heat a comal (griddle) or a dry well-seasoned cast-iron skillet over moderate heat until a bead of water evaporates quickly, then roast tomatoes, tomatillos, jalapenos, and onion, turning with tongs, until charred on all sides, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Core roasted tomatoes.
- Discard stems from jalapenos.
- For the red salsa: Coarsely puree tomatoes, 1 jalapeno, half the onion, 1 garlic clove, and 1 teaspoon salt in a blender or food processor, then transfer to a bowl.
- For the green salsa: Coarsely puree tomatillos, remaining jalapeno, half the onion, remaining garlic clove, remaining teaspoon salt, cilantro, and 1/4 cup water (add more if needed for desired consistency), then transfer to a bowl.
- Cook the eggs: Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a small nonstick skillet over moderately low heat until hot.
- Gently break 2 eggs into a cup, keeping yolks intact, then pour into skillet and cook, covered, 5 minutes, or to desired doneness.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Fry tortillas while eggs cook.
- Make more eggs in same manner, adding oil as needed.
- Fry tortillas: While each serving of eggs is cooking, heat 2 tablespoons oil in another small nonstick skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking.
- Stack 2 tortillas in skillet.
- Cook bottom tortilla 30 seconds on first side; then flip stack with tongs.
- While second tortilla cooks on bottom, turn top tortilla over with tongs, then flip stack again.
- Continue until both sides of both tortillas are cooked.
- Tortillas will soften and puff slightly, then deflate (do not let them become brown or crisp).
- Fry more tortillas in same manner, adding oil as needed.
- Put tortillas on plate, overlapping slightly, and top with eggs.
- Spoon a different salsa over each egg.
