Iowa

Even Iowa has Huevos Rancheros!

I lived in Iowa from August 2006-November 2006 and tried some Huevos Rancheros while there. I can't remember where I ate these... if anyone can tell me where these pictures were taken (recognize clues like the table... type of plate... etc?), please let me know!

"Ranchero Eggs: Crispy red pepper tortillas, fried eggs, black beans, Pickled jalapeno, lettuce, pico, chipotle aioli and yukon potatoes topped with melted cheddar and sour cream"

To date, the most unusual version of Huevos Rancheros I'd seen... This was more like nachos. It was good, but probably shouldn't even qualify as "Ranchero Eggs." And I don't think cheddar cheese is authentic. The cheese and chips made it taste heavier and more unhealthy than usual.

Authentic huevos rancheros in Mazatlan

I love huevos rancheros for brunch, so I tried some authentic versions in Mexico:

At the hotel:

At Panama:

While these were both good, I prefer the "Tex-Mex" non-authentic versions with salsa.

It all started in Mazatlan

This is how the tortilla soup was made at our hotel - in 3 steps at the table. It was delicious. I don't remember the names of the restaurants here, so I'll just post more pictures and brief comments...

Step 3:









This one was fancy looking, with the chips sticking out, but way too salty.

 







This one was from a restaurant called Panama.

 






This one we made ourselves back in New York, with mix I bought on the trip! It is vegetarian.
