Huevos Rancheros, for a Deliciously Skinny Breakfast or Brunch
Huevos Rancheros is a classic Mexican dish consisting of fried eggs covered with salsa, beans and cheese all served on fried tortilla’s. It’s a menu favorite at diners, sit-down restaurants and fast food joints throughout the western states. What makes my recipe skinny is using scrambled egg whites, a small amount of reduced-fat cheese and not frying the tortillas. Most of the ingredients you might already have on hand.
