I love Huevos Rancheros, Eggs with Tomatillo Salsa and Quesadillas so I decided to take parts of each recipe and see what I could come up with. It turned out delicious and when served with refried beans, fried potatoes with onions and hot flour tortillas....it turned out to be a great breakfast. Not exactly diet conscious but once in a while I will splurge. Unfortunately, I failed to take pictures of this when I made it. I will post pictures when I make it again.

How To Make huevos verde con jamón (green eggs and ham)
-
1Place a dry griddle or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
-
2Place a tortilla on the skillet and sprinkle with cheese.
-
3Add ½ cup of ham and top with more cheese.
-
4Place another tortilla on top. Cook until light golden for about 1 - 2 minutes.
-
5Flip over and cook until golden brown. Set aside on a plate.
-
6Cook the eggs to your preference. Once eggs have been cooked, place over tortillas; salt and pepper to taste and top with Green Sauce (see below).
-
7Green (Tomatillo) Sauce Directions: (I make this ahead of time and keep it in the fridge to use on this and many other dishes.)
-
8In a medium saucepan add fresh tomatillos, chiles, and enough water to just cover. Lightly salt.
-
9Cook for 15 minutes and drain. (For canned tomatillos, just drain and remove the thin, clear skins.)
-
10Place tomatillos, cilantro, onion and garlic in a blender or food processor. Process to almost smooth-leave a little texture.
-
11In a large saucepan heat the oil over medium high heat. When oil is hot add all the sauce at once, stirring constantly until darkened-about 5 minutes.
-
12Add the broth, return to a boil and reduce heat to medium and simmer until thickened, around 10 minutes.
-
13Remove from heat, squeeze in fresh lime juice, stir again, taste and add salt if needed. Place in an airtight container and refrigerate if not using immediately.
