Makes 4 servings

Ranchero Sauce Ingredients:

2 tsps. olive oil

1 small yellow onion, chopped

1 Tbsp chopped garlic

1 (14-ounce) can diced fire roasted tomatoes

1⁄2 tsp ground coriander

1⁄2 tsp ground cumin

1⁄2 tsp dried oregano

1⁄2 tsp salt Ground pepper, to taste

1⁄2 tsp dried chipotle powder (optional)

1⁄4 c chopped fresh cilantro

For each serving of Huevos Rancheros:

1 corn tortilla

2 Tbsp fat-free refried beans

2 egg whites Garnish

1 Tbsp shredded low-fat Cheddar cheese

Fresh cilantro

Instructions:

For the sauce, Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet. Add the onion and cook for about 5 minutes, or until softened. Add the garlic and cook for about 1 minute longer, but don’t allow the garlic to brown. Add the tomatoes, coriander, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper, and chipotle powder (if desired) and cook for a few minutes longer. Carefully transfer the sauce to the jar of a blender or the bowl of a food processor and blend or process briefly. The finished sauce should be a bit chunky. Stir in the cilantro. To make one serving of Huevos Rancheros Warm the tortilla and refried beans and set aside. Coat a small nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Add the egg whites and cook until nearly set, or about 2 minutes. Turn the eggs with a silicone spatula and cook for about 1 minute longer. Place the tortilla on a plate and top it with the beans. Place the cooked egg whites on the beans. Top with 1⁄2 c hot Ranchero Sauce and garnish with cheese and cilantro.
