Try again genius:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huevos_rancheros

Huevos rancheros is a classic Mexican breakfast dish which has become
popular throughout much of the Americas. Huevos rancheros means "eggs
ranch-style" or "eggs country-style" in Spanish. The dish traditionally
was served at the large mid-morning breakfast, or almuerzo, on rural
farms where workers had a much smaller meal at dawn.

The basic version of huevos rancheros consists of corn tortillas fried
lightly, and fried eggs with a tomatochili sauce. Refried beans
(frijoles refritos), slices of avocado, fried potatoes, and extra chili
peppers are common accompaniments. Scrambled eggs can be used instead of
fried eggs.
