Huevos Rancheros

I was served this dish done this way many years ago and have not found anywhere that serves eggs this way since. Oh, they may CALL it Huevos Rancheros, but something is either missing or not served this way.

INGREDIENTS
3    corn tortillas
1    can (15 ounce) Rosarita refried beans
1    cup Mexican salsa
1    cup shredded Casa Fresco or Monterey Jack, shredded
3    eggs
1    Jalapeno pepper, seeded, minced for garnish

METHOD
To prepare each serving, toast the tortilla in a dry frying pan until brown spots appear. Remove to an oven-proof plate and add ½ cup refried beans, spread evenly over the tortilla. Add ¼ cup salsa and spread evenly over the beans. Sprinkle 2-3 tablespoons of the cheese over the salsa. Put into the broiler for 3 to 4 minutes to heat the beans and melt the cheese.

Meanwhile, cook the egg to your taste – over easy, scrambled, poached. When the cheese is melted, remove the dish from the broiler and place the cooked egg on top. Transfer to a serving dish, garnish with minced jalapenos if desired and serve.
