Huevos Rancheros
- 3 unpeeled large garlic cloves
- 5 ripe plum tomatoes
- 1 large sweet onion, such as Texas 1015 or Vidalia, sliced 1/2 inch thick
- 1 canned chipotle chile in adobo sauce, stemmed and minced
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- Salt
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 8 corn tortillas
- 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese (about 6 ounces)
- 8 large eggs
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet.
- Add the garlic cloves and cook over moderate heat until slightly softened and just beginning to blacken all over, about 5 minutes.
- Add the tomatoes and onion to the skillet and cook until slightly softened and charred all over, about 7 minutes longer.
- Peel the garlic and transfer the vegetables to a food processor; add the chipotle and cilantro and pulse until still slightly chunky.
- Reheat the skillet.
- Add the salsa and cook over moderately high heat, stirring often, until slightly thickened, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Season with salt and keep warm.
- Preheat the oven to 350.
- Heat 1/4 cup of the oil in a large skillet until shimmering.
- Using tongs, dip both sides of a tortilla into the hot oil and cook just until softened, about 10 seconds; let any excess oil drip back into the pan.
- Drain on paper towels and set the tortilla on a work surface.
- Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
- Spoon 1 1/2 tablespoons of the cheese onto each tortilla, then loosely roll them up and arrange side by side in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
- Sprinkle with the remaining 3/4 cup of cheese and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the enchiladas are warmed through and the cheese is melted.
- Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in a nonstick skillet.
- Fry the eggs sunny-side up for 3 to 4 minutes.
- Arrange 2 enchiladas on each plate and top with the warm salsa and fried eggs.
