Eggs Poncho Villa

Kinda hokey but they taste great and presents well !!!  Serve with black beans topped with fresh Mexican cheese

Really Americanized but it so easy, looks great and taste like American Mexican comfort food. You can use English muffins, French fries, taco chips, bagels, rolls, thick sliced artisan bread or circles of masa {polenta}. This construct is kind of a “ eggs Benedict” knock off  and poaching the eggs is the most difficult part of the recipe.  The sauce base is simple jarred nacho sauce that you add purchased salsa or you own chilies, cilantro, onions, tomatoes, cumin, garlic, and oregano too for that signature touch. Poach your egg in boiling water that you’ve added some lemon juice or vinegar to since this makes the egg white firm up. You can also use any kind of protein you wish in place of the sliced ham used with eggs Benedict like chicken breast, salmon, shrimp, pork cutlets, beef filets  or even corned beef.
