From the Test Kitchen

At its simplest, huevos rancheros is a tasty combination of eggs, tortillas and salsa. We’re serving this classic in the form of quesadillas­, filled with melted cheese, creamy beans and the satisfying bite of sautéed zucchini. A fresh salsa made with tomatillos and Mexican spices adds tangy, smoky flavor to the quesadillas—each topped off, of course, with a crispy fried egg.

Prepare the ingredients:
1 Prepare the ingredients:

Wash and dry the fresh produce. Peel and small dice the onion. Remove and discard any husks from the tomatillos; small dice the tomatillos. Small dice the zucchini. Drain and rinse the beans; transfer to a large bowl. Using a fork, mash the beans into a rough paste. Grate the cheese. Cut off and discard the ends of the radishes; thinly slice the radishes into rounds. Quarter the lime. Pit, peel and thinly slice the avocado; top with the juice of 1 lime wedge to prevent browning.

2 Make the salsa:

In a medium pot, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add half the onion and half the spice blend; cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until softened. Add the tomatillos and ¼ cup of water; cook, occasionally smashing the tomatillos with a spoon, 7 to 9 minutes, or until thickened. Add ¼ cup of water; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 5 minutes, or until well combined and saucy. Turn off the heat; stir in the juice of 1 lime wedge. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
