Huevos Rancheros - Something you wish made it's self for you every morning

Blogger: Cuisine Supreme - Create Post

This would be the first of many blogs to come. I'm going to tone down the Cuisine Supreme name by starting us off with some Huevos Rancheros. This is actually a fantastically easy dish to create. The only problem is the clean up but hey hopefully you have that special someone around or a roommate that has entered into an agreement stating "that whoever makes the food doesn't have to clean it up." There should be caveats of course, considering your roommate could suck at cooking... Luckily I’ve been able to avoid that. Anyways here it is no frills (I know, presentation points should be deducted considering I can't even wipe down the plate.)

Ingredients:
3 Eggs
1 Splash of milk
1 Slice of Velveeta Cheese (Optional)
1 Slice of Toast
3 Strips of Thick Cut Bacon


Salsa:
Into the blender goes...
Squeeze of Lime Juice [This is the single most important ingredient as far as I am concerned, it will help prolong the shelf life of your homemade salsa]
2 Tomatoes [Get whatever kind you like, I tend to lean towards the smaller ones as they have a bit more of an earthy flavor and more substance than juice]
1 JalapeƱo [Remove the seeds and white inner lining if you enjoy the flavor but don't want to roast your taste buds off, If you like a smoked flavor throw it over the oven flame for a bit]
1 Pasilla Pepper [A poblano will work]
1/2 - 1/4 White Onion [Really just make a judgment call, you can use red onions if you think you will get heart burn, supposedly red onions aren't as tough on the stomach]
Handful of Cilantro [The stalk won't kill you]
2 Shots of Whisky [No seriously I can't believe you are still reading this]
Salt [Every salt is the same, I don't care what anyone tells you]
Pepper [Ccracked pepper tastes so much better, splurge and buy it, you will be happy]
No Garlic [This is my honest to god opinion, but Huevos Rancheros is for breakfast right? Well let’s not fool ourselves into thinking that it’s going to somehow avoid being detected in your breath for the rest of the day.]

Instructions: Look your blender will tear this up and honestly if you like that juicy salsa than this is your friend otherwise, be a champ and pulse it...

This sounds like a good salsa recipe. I have always been too afraid to make my own, but I think this is one that I could tackle myself!

Hey thanks, it is pretty easy and doesn't taste like it has too many tomatoes in it. It is perfect for the breakfast dish. I too struggle with salsas and the blender. My last bout with it netted me a spaghetti like sauce... too bad i just wanted some corn chips with it!!
