The Best "real" Mexican thread has me craving some huevos rancheros.
While I have attempted to cook it before, and liked the outcome, I do realize that my version is no where near considered authentic.

So who here has a (relatively) authentic huevos rancheros recipe that they're willing to share?
(or a restaurant that does them well will suffice too)

I absolutely love that dish. Jamie Deen on Food Network website has one I used and thought it was easy and worked out good for me. I'll try to link it.

Hell, looking at this recipe i'm not that far off actually.
I just use tomato sauce+fresh tomatoes instead of canned tomatoes.
I feel like there should be some type of chilies (green, chipotle, etc) in it. Or am I wrong?

I do prefer a black bean/corn combination instead of refried beans though.

Authenticity in Mexican cooking is mostly exemplified in the tortillas. Make your own corn tortillas or pick some up at the Mexican market.

Hot corn tortillas
Eggs fried in butter
Your favorite salsa (real salsa, not pico) (probably a red salsa)
Maybe a side of beans

The salsa is also crucial, though it'll be enjoyable with something store bought from the same Mexican market you get the tortillas from. Any fire-roasted red salsa recipe will be good. Rick Bayless has some good ones if you search online.

It's not complicated to make. Basically that recipe gets you in the ballpark.

I like to throw some adobo chilis and the liquid into the sauce I make. It gives it a smoky taste. I think I usually roast a jalapeño and seranno and purée into my sauce. My red sauce is rather spicy. There are a lot of ways to twist this to your preference. I love the chorizo in it along with sunny sides eggs.

Google it and there are many ways to make it that will give you some good ideas.
