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!!
