Huevos Rancheros - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    Sauce
    1 dried chipotle chile (or 1 canned)
    1 jalapeno pepper, stemmed and seeded
    1 lb tomatillo, husked (about 6)
    2 medium tomatoes, stemmed
    1 teaspoon vegetable oil
    1 teaspoon dried oregano
    1 teaspoon dried marjoram
    1 tablespoon lime juice
    salt and pepper, to taste
    2 tablespoons cilantro (optional)
    Assembly
    8 corn tortillas (6 inches)
    1/2 lb monterey jack cheese, shredded
    8 eggs
    1/2 cup onion, white, finely diced
    3 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
    4 tablespoons cilantro, chopped (optional)
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
    Place chipotle pepper and jalapeno pepper in small saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil and turn off heat. Set aside until chipotle is softened, about 30 minutes, and drain. If you want a milder salsa, seed peppers.
    Meanwhile place tomatillos and tomatoes in a shallow metal baking pan and roast in oven for 15-20 minutes and remove without turning off oven.
    Transfer to a blender and add drained peppers (you might want to start with half a pepper each and adjust according to taste) and oil, oregano, marjoram, lime juice, salt & pepper and cilantro, if desired. Blend well until smooth.
    Place tortillas on a large baking sheet and spread evenly with cheese. Bake about 3 minutes.
    Meanwhile, cook eggs to taste (scrambled, fried or poached).
    Place an egg on each tortilla, and top with a generous tablespoon of sauce, onions, parmesan cheese and cilantro if desired.
