Recipe - Camp-Style Huevos Rancheros

Olive oil
Onion
Garlic clove
Refried beans
Salsa
Eggs
Jack cheese
Tortilla chips
Chiles; to taste

In a frying pan heat a little bit of olive oil. When warm, saute a little
onion and when almost translucent, add a clove of garlic,chopped. Then add
a few generous dollops of refried beans around the perimeter of the pan.
Between the bean portions pour a little salsa (I used La Victoria's Salsa
Casera because it keeps well in the 110+ air temperatures in SW Texas)
Then,crack open and add 23 eggs,spacing them on top of salsa and between
beans. Grate some Jack or similar cheese over everything and top with
tortilla chips. Lightly cover the pan and cook until the cheese melts and
the eggs are cooked through. Add chilis to taste, if necessary.

I also make an Italian version using spaghetti sauce instead of salsa and
Parmesan for the cheese. I leave off the tortilla chips.

These make pretty good filling, one pan meals when you're camping out and
cook in minimum time. Everythings from cans or tupperware containers, so
that packing it isn't a hassle. I have a special egg holder that I use and
I tend to use them early on the trips due to the heat.
