Huevos Rancheros with Tomatillo Salsa
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 pound tomatillos, husked, rinsed, and quartered or 2 (12-ounce) cans tomatillos, drained
- 1/4 cup finely chopped yellow onion
- 1 medium jalapeno chile, stemmed, halved, seeded, and finely chopped
- 2 medium garlic cloves, halved
- 1/2 cup packed fresh cilantro leaves
- 2 teaspoons white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 8 large eggs
- 2 to 3 teaspoons white vinegar
- 8 corn tortillas
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 3 ounces cotija cheese, crumbled (can substitute feta)
- Sour cream and sliced avocado, optional
- For the salsa: Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- When it shimmers, add tomatillos, onions, jalapeno, and garlic, and cook until tomatillos and onions are softened, about 7 minutes.
- Transfer mixture to a blender, add cilantro, vinegar, and salt, and puree until sauce is smooth.
- (Yields about 2 cups salsa.)
- For the eggs: Bring at least 3 inches of water to a simmer in a medium pot and stir in vinegar.
- Break each egg into a separate small cup.
- Fill a large bowl with warm water and set aside.
- Gently slide eggs into the simmering water, 1 at a time.
- Cook until whites are just set, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Lift eggs out of the water with a slotted spoon.
- Place in a bowl of warm water to keep warm while finishing the dish.
- For the tortillas: Heat oil in a large heavy bottomed pan over medium-high heat to 350 degrees F. When oil is ready, add tortillas 1 at a time and fry until golden brown and crisp on both sides, about 1 minute.
- Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate and season immediately with salt.
- To serve: For each serving, place down 2 corn tortillas, place 2 eggs on top, drizzle with salsa, and sprinkle with cheese.
- If desired, top with a dollop of sour cream and slices of avocado.
- Serve immediately.
