Huevos Ranchers II

This chile pepper gets its name from its origin. In Spanish, serrano is an adjective meaning “from the mountains” which is where it originated-in the mountains of Hildalgo, Mexico. The serrano is normally about twice as hot as Jalapeno (about 10,000 to 15,000 Scoville units).It is the second most popular chile pepper in Mexico. This chile is used mostly for salsas but can also be used in soups, sauces, chili or stews.Try these as a hotter substitute for Jalapeno.

Put the tomatoes, bell pepper, mild green chiles, hot green chiles, and garlic on a baking sheet and put them in the oven. Roast until everything is slightly charred on top. Making Ranchera Sauce
Remove the stems and seeds along with some of the skin from the chiles and add to a blender or food processor along with the rest of the vegetables and any juices that have collected in the pan. Add the salt and blend until smooth. If your sauce is too thick, you can add a bit of water to thin it out. Salsa Ranchera for Huevos Rancheros
