Editorial Notes

The ingredient tips, suggestions, variations, facts, questions and answers below are not edits to the original author's recipe. They are not meant to imply any change would improve the recipe. They're offered for convenience, alternative ideas, and points of interest. If you have any comments about them, please post in the Help & Ideas forum.


  • When selecting the tomatillos, look for ones that are firm, bright green and free of blemishes.
  • Fresh Serrano chilies can be replaced with jalapeño peppers if desired.

  • Instead of tomatillos, use 4 cups of diced fresh tomatoes. The benefit of this substitution is that tomatoes are more widely available and are often less expensive than tomatillos. It is also a way to make the dish more accessible to those who may not be familiar with tomatillos.
  • Instead of Serrano chilies, use 2 jalapeños. The benefit of this substitution is that jalapeños are milder than Serranos, so the dish will not be as spicy. This makes it a better option for those who are sensitive to spicy food.

Chorizo Huevos Al Albañil In a large skillet, cook 1/2 pound of chorizo until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside. Follow the same instructions as above, but when cooking the eggs, add the cooked chorizo to the eggs and cook until the eggs are set. Serve with the warm tortillas.

Mexican Street Corn: Mexican street corn is a delicious and flavorful side dish that pairs perfectly with huevos al albañil.

FAQ

Q: How do I make sure the eggs are cooked through? A: To ensure the eggs are cooked through, use a spatula to break them into pieces while they cook. Continue to cook until they are set, then turn and cook on the other side.
