Diabetic Recipe: Huevos Rancheros

Posted on 25. Apr, 2009 by Mary Lutz in Mom Talk

You’ve asked for it so now you’ve got it! What is it you’re probably asking? It is recipes that are good for people with Diabetes or who are on a Diabetic Diet.

Typically Huevos Rancheros are made with refried beans, but black beans are healthier and add a nice flavor to the dish.

Huevos Rancheros

• 2 small tomatoes
• 1 small onion
• 1 jalapeno pepper, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic; 1 chopped, 1 smashed
• 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
• 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 15.5-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
• 4 large eggs
• 4 6-inch corn tortillas, warmed
• 1 avocado, peeled and sliced
• 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Prepare the salsa: Using chopper, dice the tomatoes and onion into a large bowl. Add the jalapeno, chopped garlic, hot sauce, cumin and salt and pepper to taste. Heat a medium skillet over low heat and add 2 teaspoons olive oil. Fry the salsa in the oil until it thickens slightly, 3 minutes. Remove from the heat, place in a bowl and set aside.

Add the beans to the same pan along with the smashed garlic, 1/2 cup warm water and a pinch of salt; cook over low heat until warmed through, smashing slightly with a fork.

Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in another skillet. Fry the eggs sunny-side up; season with pepper.

Place 1 warm tortilla on each plate. Divide the beans among them, then top with a fried egg, some avocado, salsa and cheese. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve with the remaining salsa.
