HOW TO MAKE HUEVOS RANCHEROS WITH GREEN BEANS

Huevos rancheros coming in hot today.

So truth be told I’m not exactly Bobby Flay in the kitchen but every once in a while a miracle happens. And today it did – how to make huevos rancheros

When I need a little meal variety I call on my homegirl Dailia for some kitchen inspiration. She also takes care of the cool photos that you see here. My photography skills do not extend past my iPhone 5.

If you’ve been following the site for a while now you know that I often write long, detailed, and well-researched articles. Every time I write a post my goal is for you to say “Damn, I don’t need to look anywhere else to answer my questions.”

Well, today is not one of those posts. Instead, you’ll be getting a quick and easy recipe so that you can take some guesswork out of how to eat healthier.

Serves 4

Huevos rancheros, or "rancher's eggs" is a flavorful Mexican breakfast of eggs cooked in a spicy tomato sauce. Green beans balance this dish perfectly, as they are easily digestible and packed with nutrients, such as dietary fiber, vitamins A, C and K and manganese. Sprinkle with some crumbled crisp turkey bacon on top for added flavor.
