![]() The simple yet spectacular chipotle salsa is top notch with its mild heat and smokiness, but the true star of the dish is the corn tortillas. I found this recipe following a search for beanless huevos rancheros, since legumes and my tummy don’t always get along. It’s hard to beat Mexican flavours for breakfast, plus it happens to be a perfect gluten-free brunch dish when family or friends with celiac disease come to visit. With all of this talk of eggs, I’ve had a major craving for my favourite brunch dish: huevos rancheros. ![]() Egg whites can be incorporated into scrambled eggs, omelettes, and quiches in place of some of the whole eggs for similar flavour and texture with much less saturated fat and cholesterol. If you already have high cholesterol, heart disease or diabetes, be cautious about the number of egg yolks you eat and take into account other sources of saturated fat in your diet. Eggs are a good source of protein, vitamin B12, vitamin D, riboflavin, and folate-and most of the egg’s nutrition is in the yolk. In people without diabetes, one whole egg per day-or 7 per week-is probably not going to do you any harm. Studies have shown that eating up to 1 egg per day is not associated with increased heart disease or stroke in the general population however, people with diabetes have an increased risk for heart disease if they eat 1 egg (or more) per day. For the average person, this amounts to no more than 20 to 30 grams of saturated fat per day.īefore you go hog-wild on eggs, there are a few other things that you should know. Saturated and trans fats-most commonly found in fatty meat, full-fat dairy, and packaged and processed foods made with hydrogenated oils-have more of an impact on blood cholesterol levels, and the US government continues to recommend that we limit our intake of saturated fat to less than 10% of our total calories. Why the new recommendation, you ask? Over the past several years, evidence has emerged to suggest that cholesterol in our diet is not the main dietary cause of high blood cholesterol levels. Since one large egg contains 186 milligrams of cholesterol, eating anything more than one egg per day was frowned upon. ![]() Historically people have been advised to limit their cholesterol intake to less than 300 milligrams per day in order to reduce the risk for heart disease. All of my favorite things topping one of my favorite meals all wrapped up in tortillas.Egg lovers, rejoice! The US government released their latest edition of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans last month and one of the most controversial changes was their decision to remove limits on dietary cholesterol. I went with roasted pepitas, cilantro, sliced green onions, avocado, and lime wedges on the side. It really boils down to preference and what you have on hand. ![]() Once the potatoes came out of the oven it only took about 10 minutes to wrap the enchiladas and pop them back in the oven to bake.Īs far as topping these bad boys there is no wrong or right way to go. I chopped up sweet potatoes and russet potatoes really small while they roasted in the oven I scrambled a big batch of eggs, set up my tortilla wrapping station, and prepped my garnishes. So last week as I was sitting thinking about making the enchiladas to curb a breakfast-for-dinner craving, I thought it would be way easier and faster if I just stuffed my favorite tortillas with scrambled eggs, roasted potatoes, and smoky salsa. On a lazy Saturday morning last fall, I made a batch of Huevos Rancheros Breakfast Enchiladas for my family and while they're really good, it just isn't practical for me to make egg "tortillas" on a busy weeknight. I usually eat so much that I want to take a nap when I'm done which is exactly why I reserve them for the weekends. The smoky salsa, the perfectly fried eggs, and the tortillas all make me swoon. One of my all-time favorite weekend breakfast dishes is Huevos Rancheros. ![]()
