Fried Eggs on Corn Tortillas with Two Salsas (Huevos Divorciados)Rita Maas

As in many Mexican recipe names, there is a playful personification at work here: The eggs are "separated" by their salsas—one is topped with fiery red, the other with jealous green.

Cooks' notes:

• Salsas keep, covered and chilled, 3 days.
• Depending on how you like your eggs, the yolks may not be fully cooked, which may be of concern if there is a problem with salmonella in your area.
• Cooking 2 tortillas stacked together helps them stay moist and pliable, as they are heated by steam trapped between the 2 layers.
