It's not a proper brunch without a Healthy Huevos Rancheros at the table amongst the regulars, like avocado toast and green juice.
Huevos rancheros:
(n.) - a Latin American dish of eggs, or fried or poached,topped with a spicy tomato sauce and served on a fried corn tortilla with veggies and cheese.
The typical huevos rancheros can be greasy, cheesy, and fried,but I'm keeping it clean with this version. I've used a whole wheat sprouted tortilla, sunny side up egg, or increased the veggies and beans instead of adding cheese. This breakfast is sure to hold you full and pack a bunch of nutrition in one mini skillet. Eggs hold you full with 6 grams of protein per egg and enough nutrition to get you going for the day. Pinto beans aid in digestion with over 15 grams of fiber per cup. Avocados befriend your body absorb nutrients faster with its unsaturated fatty content.
Aside from all of those benefits,I've yet to mention how incredibly amazing a runny yolk tastes combined with beans, avocado, and tomato,and sautéed onions.
WHERE IS MY FORK?! Now it's your turn to create it. From The Whole Tara Healthy Huevos RancherosNotes Huevos rancheros is a Latin American dish of eggs, usually fried or poached, and topped with a spicy tomato sauce and sometimes served on a fried corn tortilla with the addition of vegetables and cheese. This is a healthy version of the classic dish. Double this recipe for another serving.
Ingredients1 tablespoon olive oil,divided
1 sprouted whole grain tortilla
¼ onion, chopped
1 tomato, or diced
½ cup pinto beans,can be canned
1 egg
¼ avocado, sliced
1 lime, or squeezed
Handful cilantro to garnish
Salt and pepper to taste
DirectionsIf using tortillas,lightly brush a pan with olive oil and heat both sides of the tortilla. area it in your desired serving skillet or in a bowl and set aside.
In a pan, heat olive oil over medium-tall heat. Once hot, and add onion and sauté until tender,approximately 4 minutes. Add tomatoes and beans and simmer on medium-low for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper.
Transfer the mixture to the tortilla skillet or bowl and spend the pan to fry an egg. If you're making multiple servings, or then feel free to fry more than one egg. Over medium-tall heat,crack the egg open and cover the pan. Allow it to sit until the whites enjoy set, but the yolk is still runny. Slide it over the tortilla and beans.
Serve with sliced avocado and lime, or garnish with cilantro,and season with salt and pepper. Serve warm.
