Followup:

Just that quickly a one tortilla/one egg/red chile and cheese lunch:

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Use a small 6" nonstick pan with lid

Add a little oil (tsp)to the pan

Then 4 minutes on a low heat

Then add a small pat of butter, swirl around

Add the red chile sauce dipped corn tortilla.

Cook for a minute on medium heat until bubbling

Flip tortilla, top with 1 egg and grated cheese.

Cover cook about 1 minute on medium

Remove from heat and let stand for another 2-3 minutes until a nice soft
yolk and perfectly melted cheese appear.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Generally this dish is made as heuvos rancheros with the eggs fried or
poached separately and then placed over the fried tortillas with salsa
and cheese on top.

Doing it with the egg and cheese directly over the chile dipped tortilla
was much better, the flavors married perfectly in the covered pan and
the egg was not oily at all.

Thanks to Tara for the inspiration.
