Huevos Rancheros
Huevos ranchero is a traditional Mexican dish that can provide you with a protein boost, especially for those who are looking for a meatless dish. You'll get the majority of your protein from the black beans and eggs, but the most popular corn tortillas come with a couple of grams as well.
Ingredients:
- 1 can (16 oz) whole peeled tomatoes, with juice
- 1⁄2 small onion, chopped
- 1 clove of garlic, chopped
- 1 Tbsp chopped chipotle pepper
- 1⁄4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- Juice of 1 lime
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 can (16 oz) of black beans
- Pinch of ground cumin
- 8 eggs
- 8 corn tortillas
Instructions:
- Combine the tomatoes, onion, garlic, chipotle, cilantro, and half of the lime juice in a food processor and pulse until well blended but still slightly chunky. Season with salt and pepper.
- Mix the black beans, cumin, and remaining lime juice in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Use the back of a fork to lightly mash up the beans, adding a splash of warm water if necessary.
- Coat a large non-stick skillet or sauté pan with non-stick cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Break the eggs into the skillet; cook until the whites have set, but the yolks are still loose and runny.
- On a separate burner, heat a medium skillet over medium heat and add the tortillas, 2 at a time; cook for 1 minute on each side, until lightly toasted.
- To assemble the dish, spread the tortillas with the beans, top with the eggs, and top the eggs with the salsa. Garnish with more cilantro, if you like, and serve immediately.
