Huevos Rancheros with Roasted Tomato Sauce

This recipe calls for cooking the huevos rancheros in small cast-iron skillets, so you can cook and serve individual portions in the same pan. Roasting concentrates the flavor of the tomatoes and adds a nice char, lending depth to the sauce, while a chipotle chili lends a smoky note. The sauce can be prepared up to 2 days in advance; cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
