Mark here...just updating some old recipes...This is from the Friday Night Lights episode, "El Accidente"...First off is Mark Bittman's Huevos Rancheros, his Refried Beans and Salsa recipes follows...

Huevos Rancheros

Ingredients

1/2 cup of grapeseed oil
4 5-inch tortillas (I use flour)
Real refried beans
1 tablespoon butter
4 eggs
salt and pepper
Salsa
grated monterey jack cheese
chopped cilantro

Preheat oven to 350.

Cook the tortillas in the heated grapeseed oil, a few minutes each side and then dry on paper towels.  Spoon a tablespoon of the beans into the center of each tortilla.

Melt the butter in a separate skillet and add the eggs.  Cook until translucent and add salt and pepper to taste. Add an egg to each tortilla and top with salsa and cheese.  Transfer to a baking dish and cook in the oven 5 minutes.  Top with the cilantro

Real Refried Beans

Ingredients

1/4 cup grapeseed oil
3-4 cups drained (liquid reserved) black beans (my choice)
1 large chopped onion
1 tablespoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
salt and pepper
chopped cilantro

Heat the oil in a skillet and add the beans. Gently mash with a fork or spoon.  Add the onion, cumin and cayenne, and salt and pepper to taste.  Continue to cook until onions are cooked.  Add some of the reserved bean liquid if the mixture is too pasty.  Add cilantro at the end.

Salsa

Ingredients

2 chilies (I picked 2 at random that weren't too spicy, but I'd choose to taste)
1/4 cup grapeseed oil
2 chopped onions
4 chopped garlic cloves
3 cups canned chopped tomatoes
1 tablespoon sugar
salt and pepper
chopped cilantro
3 tablespoons lime juice

Finely chop the chiles.  Heat the oil in a skillet and add the chiles, onions and garlic and stir.  Cook about 5 minutes before adding tomatoes, sugar, salt and pepper.  Cook 20 minutes before adding cilantro and lime juice.

Tequila Sunrise

Ingredients

good Tequila
Orange Juice
Grenadine

This is about one part tequila, two parts orange juice, mixed in a glass or pitcher.  Once in a glass though, add a teaspoon of grenadine to the center, letting it drip off the spoon and drop to the bottom of the glass.  Do not stir and you will get the sunrise effect.
