Taos

This is certainly nothing new, but it was news to me. I only just discovered Huevos Divorciados – divorced eggs. It’s a traditional Mexican dish that somehow – until very recently – escaped my attention. First, you take a bowl or plate deep enough to hold some salsa. Place two cooked eggs on opposite sides of the plate/bowl. The eggs can be poached, over easy, or sunny side up; whichever you like best. Between the eggs, build a small dam or wall out of hot refried beans (I like black refritos best). Then douse one egg with red tomato salsa and the other with salsa verde. Garnish with chopped avocado, crema, shredded cheddar, cilantro, sliced limes or queso fresco. Serve with warm tortillas or tortilla chips. This is a fun, easy, colorful and relatively healthy dish. It can be served for any meal, but it would be especially well suited for breakfast or brunch.
