Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the sauce ahead of time by placing the ingredients in Vita-Mix along with 1 cup of water; quickly increase speed to high; allow to run for 4 to 5 minutes or until steam escapes from opening; adjust with salt and pepper to taste.

2. 2

   If you do not have a Vita-Mix and are using a standard blender, place the tomatillos, garlic and onion in medium skillet along with enough oil to coat the bottom; sauté until onion and garlic are soft; approximately 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Add the hot water and additional spices, simmer for 20 to 30 minutes; pour cooked ingredients into blender container and process until smooth; adjust salt and pepper to taste.

4. 4

   Pour the sauce into a quart jar and refrigerate until ready to use.

5. 5

   For the huevos rancheros, preheat oven to 350 degrees.

6. 6

   Lightly spray individual ramekins with non-stick cooking spray and place on a cookie sheet. The ramekins I used measured 5 inches across and 1 inch deep.

7. 7

   Place a cut tortilla in the bottom of each dish, top with egg in center.

8. 8

   Sprinkle 1/4 of the canned beans around each casserole leaving the yolk exposed.

9. 9

   Pour the 1 - 1 1/2 cups tomatillo sauce over the beans, again leaving yolk exposed; top with grated cheese.

10. 10

    Place in pre-heated oven and bake for 15 minutes; lightly cover each with foil and bake an additional 5 minutes or until yolk is slightly runny and white is set.

11. 11

    Top with additional grated cheese if desired.
