Power Food Part III
You are what you eat, right. So why not eat power?
“One Teaspoon from Disaster� is featuring recipes for meals that include several power foods – items deemed high in all the good stuff and low in all the bad stuff.
Since there may be some truth to the ‘ol cliché, whip up something that’s healthy but not boring. I suggest Huevos Rancheros.
The “power� ingredients here are the black beans and eggs –– which, like carbs, are no longer the enemy.
For some reason, mine didn’t turn out quite like the restaurant versions I’ve seen. I overcooked the dish. (The eggs looked hard-boiled. Oops. But I fear salmonella, unless I’m consuming raw cookie dough, which is exempt from all that bacteria, right?) Not that I was surprised. I was, however, wowed by the flavor.
I used hot salsa for an added kick and these tasted great, hard-boiled yolks and all.
Huevos Rancheros
Ingredients:
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 ½ C. fresh salsa
5 or 6 eggs
cheese
Directions:
Boil beans, salsa and water in a skillet, stirring frequently. Break each egg on top of mixture. Reduce heat, cover and simmer five minutes, or until eggs are cooked at desired firmness. Before serving, top with shredded cheese and wrap in warmed tortillas. Serves four.
