Last week, we went out for brunch.\u00a0 (We, as in my immediate, non-extended family.)\u00a0 People (as in them) ordered some very ‘heavy’ dishes, one of which was Huevos Rancheros with Nachos, beautifully served, with sides of beans, guacamole, etc.\u00a0 (Sorry, if I am causing anyone to salivate.)<\/p>\n
On the one hand, I was tempted to order a decadent dish, but on the other, I knew that I would regret it later, not just because of the calorie count; because these type of\u00a0 ‘heavy’ dishes no longer sit well with me.\u00a0 My ‘system’ is accustomed to light foods, healthier foods, less fatty, sugary and salt laden foods.<\/p>\n
Instead, I righteously ordered my favorite breakfast.\u00a0 Two poached eggs, a side of fruit, and whole wheat toast dry.\u00a0 Even if I wanted a schmere of butter, I’d prefer to schmere it myself!\u00a0 Oh, yes, and of course – coffee.<\/p>\n
The next day, while still very pleased with myself, I wondered how I might mix-up, cook-up and serve-up a platter full of Our Lady of Weight Loss approved Huevos Rancheros.\u00a0\u00a0 Here’s my recipe, which by the way – I swear on the Scales of Injustice was better than the ‘heavy’ version.<\/p>\n

\n1 cup baked tortilla chips
\n1\/4 teaspoon cumin seeds
\n1\/4 teaspoon chili powder
\n1\/2 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
\n1\/2 cup bottled salsa
\n2 eggs
\n4 egg whites
\nblack pepper to taste
\n1\/2 cup shredded reduced-fat Cheddar Cheese
\n1\/2 cup reduced fat sour cream
\nCilantro, chopped for garnish<\/p>\n
\n*\u00a0 Divide chips among serving plates, spreading into single layers; set aside.
\n*\u00a0 In a small saucepan, heat cumin seeds over medium heat (no oil; dry pan!) for about 1 minute or until aromatic, stirring frequently.\u00a0 Add chili powder.
\n* Stir in beans and salsa.\u00a0 Stir 1 to 2 minutes or until heated through.\u00a0 Remove; keep covered.
\n* In a bowl, whisk together eggs, egg whites, milk, and the black pepper.
\n* Spray medium sized skillet with a nonstick cooking spray.\u00a0 Over medium heat, pour in egg mixture.\u00a0 Cook without stirring, until mixture starts to set on the bottom and around edge.\u00a0 Using a large spoon, lift and fold the partially cooked egg mixture so the uncooked portion flows underneath.
\n* Continue cooking 2 to 3 minutes or until egg mixture is cooked through but still glossy and moist.\u00a0 Remove from heat.\u00a0 Break up eggs, spoon over chips.
\n* Top with salsa mixture, cheese and a dollop of sour cream.
\n* Sprinkle a little cilantro. Such a lovely garnish with a great extra bit of taste.<\/p>\n
