Healthy Huevos Rancheros

Ingredients (serves 4)

• 1 can (16 oz) whole peeled tomatoes, with juice
• 1⁄2 small onion, chopped
• 1 clove 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) black beans
• Pinch of ground cumin
• 8 eggs
• 8 corn tortillas

Directions

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.
5. 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.

Cooking Tip

If you’re not familiar with chipotles:

• Chipotles are smoked jalapeños, and they come canned with a spicy, vinegary tomato sauce called adobo.

• Use a spoonful to spike salsas, marinades, mashed potatoes, and soups.

• Beyond being insanely delicious, the capsaicin in chipotle has been shown to boost metabolism.
