Chiles Stuffed With Scrambled Eggs And Bacon With Chihuahua Cheese Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Cook bacon in a large (12") cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until fat is rendered and bacon is beginning to crisp, 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and chile and continue to cook, stirring, until bacon is crisp and garlic is golden brown, 2-3 minutes more. Add beans, stir to combine, then stir in 2 cups salsa verde. Taste by dipping a tortilla chip into mixture; season with salt if needed.
• Transfer bean mixture to a large bowl (trying to add the chips to the skillet will make a mess, trust us). Gently stir in 8 cups chips with a rubber spatula until thoroughly coated without breaking chips. Return to hot skillet. Stick a handful of fresh chips vertically into mixture here and there-they will get extra crunchy as the chilaquiles bake. Sprinkle Monterey Jack and Cotija over. Make 8 evenly spaced indentations in filling and carefully crack an egg into each. Bake until egg whites are opaque and cheese is bubbly, 10-15 minutes.
• Top chilaquiles with cilantro. Serve with hot sauce, lime wedges, and more salsa verde alongside.

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and oregano and sauté until onion is soft, about 3 minutes. Add tomatoes with juice and chili powder. Cover and simmer 5 minutes to blend flavors. Transfer sauce to blender; puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Return sauce to pan and keep warm.
• Melt remaining 4 tablespoons butter in large skillet over medium heat. Add chiles; sauté until tender, about 6 minutes. Add green onions and 1/4 cup cilantro. Add eggs and cheese. Cook until eggs are softly set, stirring occasionally, about 4 minutes. Divide eggs among 4 plates. Spoon sauce over; sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup cilantro.

Steps:

• 1. Prepare the ranchera sauce. Reserve, covered, in a pan off heat. In a large nonstick skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crisp and brown. Drain on paper towels. Crumble the bacon and reserve on a plate. 2. Prepare the chiles. (Keep the stems intact.) With a small sharp knife, cut a slit lengthwise from the stem end to within 1 1/2 inches of the narrow end. Carefully remove the seed pod and seeds. Rinse under running water to wash out remaining seeds. Pat dry with paper towels. Reserve on a plate. 3. Preheat oven to 300°. In a bowl, beat the eggs with a fork until well combined. Add the milk and salt. Beat to mix. Heat the butter and oil in a large nonstick skillet and cook the eggs, stirring slowly to scramble, until just set, about 3 minutes. Stir in the crumbled bacon and cook about 20 seconds more. Fill the chiles equally with the egg mixture and arrange on a baking sheet. Put in the oven to keep warm. 4. Reheat the sauce until it comes to a boil. To serve, place 1 stuffed chile in the center of each of 4 serving plates. Spoon some of the heated sauce on top of each serving, letting it pool onto the plate.From "1,000 Mexican Recipes."
