Note from M-J: this is very amusing–they having chosen the same name as my four-year-old website a couple of months ago. My husband, Jean-Jacques was a popular speaker at the Conference on World Affairs in Boulder, Colorado, for many years.

Huevos Rancheros, a Health-Promoting Breakfast

Huevos Rancheros--fried eggs and grated cheese on tortillas with red or green chile gravy on top–are a health-promoting breakfast or brunch dish for winter and fall. Placing refritos, or refried beans, under the eggs is optional. Use either flour or corn tortillas, with Monterey Jack or Cheddar cheese. I like to sauté the tortillas in butter, grate cheese onto them, then fry the eggs, assemble the lot and pour on the chile gravy, finishing the top with more grated cheese. A good source for mail-order chile products from New Mexico is the New Mexican Connection, located in Albuquerque and on the web.
