Huevos Divorciados

Cultural Context

Huevos Divorciados, or 'Divorced Eggs', is a vibrant dish from Mexico that showcases the country's love for bold flavors and fresh ingredients. Traditionally served at breakfast or brunch, it features two eggs placed on tortillas, each topped with a different salsa—red and green—symbolizing the 'divorce' of flavors. This dish has gained popularity beyond Mexico, often featured in Mexican restaurants worldwide, where it's celebrated for its colorful presentation and delicious taste.

Preheat a pan with 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil.

Add tomatoes, onion, and garlic to the pan and cover with a lid, lowering the heat for 2 minutes.

Toast chilies in the residual heat for 30 to 45 seconds on each side.

Add 2 cups of water to the toasted chilies and let it come to a simmer, then cover and steep for 15 to 20 minutes.

Add softened chilies to the pan and mix in 1.5 to 2 teaspoons of chicken bouillon powder and a pinch of salt, then blend to make red salsa.

Preheat another pan over medium-high heat with a little cooking oil.

7

Add 2 tomatillos, 2 jalapenos, a small chunk of onion, and 2 cloves of garlic (skin on) to the pan and sauté for about 5 minutes until charred.

Remove the skin from the garlic and the stem from the jalapenos, then blend everything with 2 teaspoons of chicken bouillon powder, 1/3 to 1/2 cup of water, and a pinch of salt to make green salsa.
