Huevos Rancheros
This is my new favorite breakfast dish!! This is one of my favorite biggest loser recipes too. I usually make the sauce and the beans on Sunday, then I can make the eggs a couple of times during the week. It is a huge time saver and then I get a healthy and protein packed breakfast! If you don't have the time to make the sauce, you can always use salsa. For this recipe you will need the following:
2 tsp of olive oil
1 small yellow onion, chopped
1 tbsp chopped garlic
1 (10 oz) can of Rotel
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp of salt
Pepper, to taste
1/2 tsp of chipotle pepper powder
1/4 cup of chopped fresh cilantro
1 corn tortilla
2 tbsp of fat-free refried beans
2 egg whites
1 tbsp of low fat cheddar cheese or the cheese or your choice
To make the sauce: Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet. Add the onion and cook for about 5 minutes, or until softened. Add the garlic and cook for about 1 minute longer, but don't allow the garlic to brown. Add the tomatoes, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper, and chipotle powder and cook for a few minutes longer, until the liquid has reduced. Stir in the cilantro.
To make one serving of Huevos Rancheros: Warm the tortilla and refried beans and set aside. Coat a small nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Add the egg whites and cook until nearly set, or about 2 minutes. Turn the eggs with a spatula and cook for about 1 minute longer. Place the tortilla on a plate and top it with the beans. Place the cooked eggs on the beans. Top with 1/2 of the sauce and sprinkle with cheese. Calorie count is 230!!
