put eggs on the casserole. Bake for about 20 minutes, until all is warm and melted. Garnish with lettuce and
tomato. Can also serve with sour cream, chopped olives and guacamole.

Ingredients

Red Chile
Sauce:
20 dried chile pods
1/4 cup water
6 garlic cloves
Salt
Pinch Mexican oregano
1 pound diced pork (optional)

Directions

Remove the stems and seeds of the chile pods. Soak
the pods in water or simmer on stove for about 10 minutes. Place chile and garlic in a blender with 1/4 cup
water and puree until smooth. (Use 6 to 8 pods of chile and 2 cloves of garlic at a time, which will make the
puree smoother and easier to work with.) Add more water as needed to get a medium consistency. In a sauce pan,
add pureed chile with Mexican Oregano and salt to taste. Bring to a slow boil, and then simmer for 20 minutes.
Pork can be browned and added to sauce while simmering.
