Scrambled Egg Huevos Rancheros
This breakfast is my GO-TO the morning after a big night out. A hang over can get the better of all of us and can often have us reaching for not-so-nutritious foods. Instead, get in the kitchen and make this! With the help of two, this meal can be made in 15 minutes, tops! It's loaded with fibre, protein, good fats, and FLAVOUR. Much tastier than a greasy hamburger from a fast food joint.
You can be as creative as you want!
Add some more grated carrot, chopped cucumber, chopped capsicum
add some fresh mint leaves to your guacamole
switch the tortilla wraps for some spinach ones, quinoa, spelt
add a pinch of dried chilli flakes to your scrambled eggs
add some grated cheese to your scrambled eggs for extra protein and fat
Ingredients
Serves 2
2 whole grain tortilla wraps
4 large eggs, free range, lightly beaten
2 handfuls thinly sliced purple cabbage OR purple sauerkraut
Optional: 2-3 tbsp. cooked red or black beans (I used canned red kidney beans)
For the guacamole:
1/2 large ripe avocado, peeled and roughly chopped
2 tbsp. red onion, finely chopped
1 tbsp. coriander leaves, finely chopped
1/2 long green chilli, seeds removed, finely sliced (keep the seeds in if you're feeling fiery!)
1 large lime, juice of
Sea salt for seasoning
For the tomato salsa:
8-10 cherry tomatoes, quartered
1 tbsp. red onion, finely chopped
1 tbsp. coriander leaves, finely chopped
Sea salt for seasoning
Method
To make the guacamole, place all the ingredients in a bowl and use a fork to mash them together. Season with sea salt to taste
To make the tomato salsa, toss the ingredients in a bowl and season with sea salt to taste
Heat 1 tsp. of olive oil in a medium saucepan and softly scramble your eggs. I use a rubber spatula to gently fold the eggs until they are JUST cooked but still lushes and shiny. In my opinion, this dish really isn't as nice when the eggs are overcooked, however, if you prefer overcooked eggs, go for it!
Warm your tortilla wraps in the oven for 2-3 minutes
Divide the scrambled eggs between the two wraps, top with purple cabbage or sauerkraut, than add the guacamole, tomato salsa and finish with the red kidney beans
Eat immediately or wrap them up in some baking paper to eat on the go! (should be eaten within the hour)
