I think it was a Sunday night and I didn't want to cook - I never want to cook on Sunday nights. Matthew took the reigns of the operation and made a quesadilla with a fried egg and some Tapatio hot sauce sprinkled inside of it. A legend was born - at least in our household. We joke that if we ever started up a food truck it would be a Huevo-dilla truck. Perfect street food. You could fancy it up in all kinds of ways too.
This is what we cook when we're too late or too tired to run into town, we don't want to cook, or just because we're craving one. It often serves as our Sunday night meal.
The trick is the fried egg. You want it a little runny, but not too runny. It needs to be just right so that when you bite into your Huevo-dilla, the egg yolk pops and just enough yolk oozes out to moisten your dilla but not to turn it into a big soggy mess. Although egg yolk dripping down your hand may not be such a bad thing.
If you're ever hit'n the food truck scene and you see a Huevo-dilla truck, look for me. 😉
The Huevo-dilla
INGREDIENTS
2
corn tortillas
About
½ cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1
large egg
a
few dashes of Tapatio hot sauce
olive
oil spray
salt
& pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS
1.
Heat a skillet or the flat side of a grill pan over medium high heat.
2.
Place corn tortillas on your pan and toast one side. Flip them and
add ¼ cup cheese on top of each.
3.
Meanwhile, in another skillet or on the other side of the grill pan,
spray some olive oil.
4.
Crack your egg and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook 2 to 3 minutes until edges look cooked, then flip. Cook another couple of minutes until the yolk seems almost over medium - but just barely. You
want to keep it a little runny.
5.
Place your egg on top of one of the cheese covered tortillas. Add a
few dashes of Tapatio and cover with other tortilla.
6.
Be happy!
