HUEVOS RANCHEROS

Steps:

• For the ranchero sauce: Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F and put the tomatoes, garlic cloves and onion on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast the vegetables, turning occasionally, until blistered and charred in spots, about 35 minutes. When cool enough to handle, remove the papery skins from the garlic.
• Meanwhile, bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add the ancho chiles, cover, and remove from the heat. Let sit for 10 minutes, then drain and pat dry.
• Put the vegetables and any juices from the baking sheet into a blender. Add the ancho chiles, 1/2 teaspoon each chopped chipotle and adobo sauce and 1/2 teaspoon salt and blend until fairly smooth. Taste; if you want the sauce spicier, stir in the remaining chopped chipotle and adobo sauce.
• Heat the oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add the sauce (it will sizzle) and 1/3 cup water and cook, stirring, until thickened but pourable, about 5 minutes. Taste and season with salt as necessary. Cover and keep warm over low heat. If the sauce thickens too much, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time to thin it out.
• For the refried beans: Put the beans in a medium bowl with about half of their reserved liquid and mash with a potato masher until smooth. Heat the vegetable oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering, then add the mashed beans and a big pinch of salt and mash again until smooth. Cook, stirring and scraping with a rubber spatula, until heated through. If the beans seem dry, add some more of the reserved liquid until they are creamy. Taste, season with salt if necessary and cover and keep warm over low heat.
• For serving: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F and line a baking sheet with paper towels. Heat 2 teaspoons vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add 1 tortilla and cook until the underside blisters, about 15 seconds. Flip the tortilla with tongs and continue to cook until the underside blisters, about 15 seconds. Remove from the pan to the lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining 7 tortillas, adding more oil if necessary. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the refried beans on each tortilla and keep warm in the oven.
• Using the same skillet the tortillas were fried in, heat 1 tablespoon oil until shimmering, about 1 minute. Crack 4 eggs into the skillet and cook until the edges are crispy and whites are almost set. Cover the skillet with a big pot lid and cook until the whites are completely set, 1 more minute. Remove the tortillas from the oven, top four with an egg, then return to the oven and repeat with the 4 remaining eggs.
• Top the remaining tortillas with the remaining eggs. Sprinkle each with a pinch of salt, some ranchero sauce, Cotija cheese, cilantro and onion. Serve immediately.

RANCHERO SAUCE

Steps:

• Cut the prepared poblano chiles into 1/4-inch-thick strips (rajas); set aside. Chop together the blackened tomatoes and serranos and set aside. In a large, heavy skillet, heat the oil over low heat and sauté the onion and garlic until soft but not brown, about 10 minutes (add up to 1/4 cup water, if necessary, to provide moisture and prevent browning). Add the chopped tomatoes and serranos, two-thirds of the poblanos (reserve one-third of the strips to add at the end), the cilantro, and the salt to the pan. Cover and cook over low heat until the flavors have married and the ingredients have lost their raw taste, 20 to 30 minutes. Remove the cilantro and stir in the reserved poblano strips.
• Serve immediately, or hold at room temperature for up to 2 hours. It can be prepared up to 1 day ahead, refrigerated, and gently warmed before serving (don't overcook).

• Stir chopped tomatoes, tomato sauce, cilantro, jalapeno pepper, salt, pepper, and crumbled bacon into onion; bring to a simmer and cook until flavors blend, about 15 minutes.

RANCHERO SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. In a medium sauce pan over medium heat, add oil and smoke.
• 2. Sweat garlic and onion in oil until tender.
• 3. Add jalapeno and cook for 10 minutes covered.
• 4. Add tomatoes with salt. (salt will draw the liquid from tomatoes.) Cook covered for 30 minutes on medium low heat.
• 5. Drain excess tomato liquid from pan.
• 6. Add cilantro and broth to pan. Simmer for 5 minutes covered. (Adjust the thickness of the sauce with broth. Be sure to drain all the excess liquid you can, the tomato liquid is super watery, but the 1/2 cup of broth will add the extra flavor you are looking for. You might need more than 1/2 cup or a little less depending on how much liquid your tomatoes give up while cooking.)
• 7. Add paprika, salt, pepper, cayenne, chilli, lime juice and cumin.
• 8. Blend mixture with immersion blender, or transfer to a standard blender until smooth. (If you like chunky sauce don't blend it, tastes the same whether smooth or not.)
• 9. Simmer the sauce for about 15 minutes before serving. A little tip: if you find the sauce too watery after you add your stock, no big deal, simmer it uncovered, it'll thicken itself up in no time.
