Red and Green Huevos Rancheros

I love Mexican food!  So, when I came across this breakfast recipe, I had to try it.  The original recipe wasn't vegetarian, so I made a few substitutions and the result was fantastic.

For the red sauce:

4 plum tomatoes, cored
1 large shallot, peeled
1 serrano chile, stemmed
1/4 cup vegetable broth
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

For the green sauce:

5 tomatillos, husked and rinsed
1 Anaheim chile, halved
1/2 small white onion
1 clove garlic, unpeeled
Salt and freshly ground black pepper 

For the huevos rancheros:
 
4 eggs, cooked to your preference
corn tortillas

For the red sauce, place all ingredients in a preheated skillet and cook until charred on all sides.  Immediately place in a blender or food processor along with the broth.  Puree until smooth.  Return the sauce to the stove and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until it is bright red.  Salt and pepper to taste.

For the green sauce,  cook the ingredients in a skillet just as you did for the red sauce.  Keep the peel on the garlic while cooking.  Once charred on all sides, peel the garlic and place all ingredients in a blender or food processor and puree until smooth.  Salt and pepper to taste.

For the corn tortillas, warm a skillet over medium heat.  Lightly wet the tortillas and place them one by one on the skillet.  Cook for about 30-60 seconds on each side, just enough to soften and dry the tortillas.  Remove the tortillas, place on a plate, and put 1-2 cooked eggs on top of the tortilla.  Pour the red sauce over half and the green sauce over the other half.  Enjoy!

To make this recipe vegan, simply use vegan tofu "egg" scramble:

1 small onion diced or 1 tsp onion powder
2-3 cloves crushed garlic or 1 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
2 pounds Tofu, extra firm or hard
(drain, rinse, and crumble into small pieces into the pan)

Stir in well:
2 T Chick-it seasoning
4 T Nutritional yeast flakes
1/4 tsp Turmeric

Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
you can add 1/2 green or red bell pepper with the onion when you saute
