Fried Eggs On Corn Tortillas With Two Salsas Huevos Divorciados Recipes

FRIED EGGS ON CORN TORTILLAS WITH TWO SALSAS (HUEVOS DIVORCIADOS)

Steps:

• 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, jalapeños, and onion, turning with tongs, until charred on all sides, 10 to 15 minutes. Core roasted tomatoes. Discard stems from jalapeños and discard half of seeds from each chile.
• For red salsa: Coarsely purée tomatoes, 1 jalapeño, 1 garlic clove, and 1 teaspoon salt in a blender or food processor, then transfer to a bowl.
• For green salsa: Coarsely purée tomatillos, remaining jalapeño, 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 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.

HUEVOS DIVORCIADOS

Steps:

• Heat the red and green chile sauces in separate saucepans and keep warm.
• Preheat a large, heavy nonstick skillet to medium-low, melt the butter, then add the eggs and fry sunny side up.
• This is a knife and fork taco. For each serving, lay 2 warmed tortillas side by side, open face and overlapping on a plate. Top each tortilla with a fried egg. Spoon some of the red chile sauce around 1 egg, some green chile sauce around the other.
