Monday January 26, 2015 A delicious recipe to help you eat and feel healthy — direct to you from Dr. Weil's Optimum Health Plan. Easy Huevos Rancheros 1 ServingThis is a good brunch or lunch dish. Look for a brand of canned, low-fat and low-sodium all-natural refried beans. (Or, make your own.) Most of the fat in this dish is "good fat" from the avocado; if you're trying to lose weight, you might skip the avocado or substitute apple or pear. Ingredients: 1 whole wheat flour tortilla 1/4 cup low fat, all natural refried beans 1 egg (preferably organic) 2 tbsp salsa 1/4 avocado Instructions: Heat the tortilla in the oven briefly until it is slightly crisp. In the meantime, fry the egg and heat up the refried beans in the microwave. Assemble the dish by putting the beans on the crisp tortilla and topping with the fried egg. Garnish with salsa and avocado slices.
