Hey! I resemble that remark :-)
My current tried-and-true favorite breakfast is what I call "Huevos in a
Hurry", inspired by watching the cafeteria cooks make Huevos Rancheros
to order at the University of Arizona. My version takes longer to heat
the pan than to cook everything.
Huevos in a Hurry
2 Tbsp. cooking oil (Canola)
2 corn tortillas
1 egg
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
hot sauce (optional)
1/4 cup commercial salsa (such as Pace or La Victoria)
Heat the oil in a skillet until nearly smoking. While it's heating,
collect the other ingredients to have handy.
Fry each tortilla a few seconds on each side until tender but nowhere
near crispy. They should blister. Stack or artfully arrange the
tortillas on a plate as you go.
(At this point, I turn off the heat. The electric coils on the range and
the cast iron skillet retain enough heat to cook the egg.) Break the egg
directly into the skillet. Turn when set on the bottom. Cook only until
the white is firmly set and the yolk is still runny. Place the egg on
the tortillas.
Shred some cheese directly onto the egg. Splash on some hot sauce if you
like. Top it all with the salsa. Nuke about 20 seconds to take the chill
off the cheese.
Serve with a warmed flour tortilla.
