Our version is packed with sweet potatoes, pinto beans, eggs, and avocado. Rather than mix the tortilla into the skillet, we're serving it alongside. Each of these ingredients brings its own punch to the table. Sweet potatoes are high in fiber, Vitamin A, and Vitamin C. Just one cup of sweet potatoes has 213% of your daily value for Vitamin A! They're also chock-full of antioxidants which may help protect your body from inflammation. Pinto beans are another great source of fiber, but follow that up with protein and Vitamin B1, which is essential to helping your body convert food to energy. Eggs bring all nine essential amino acids to the table, offering a complete protein source. These are the ones your body can't make by itself. And last but not least: avocado. They're a good source for a ton of vitamins and minerals, including potassium, magnesium, and Vitamins C, E, K, and B6. Avocados may be optional in this recipe, but if you're looking for a boost in some of these important nutrients, we'd recommend opting in. This easy huevos rancheros recipe is ready in just 20 minutes, making it ideal for busy weekday mornings. Simple shortcuts like using frozen roasted sweet potatoes helps speed up the cooking process. If you want to round out your breakfast, serve it up with fresh fruit. Ingredients 1 cup frozen roasted cubed sweet potatoes (such as such as Good & Gather Steam-in-Bag Roasted Sweet Potatoes) 1 tsp. chili powder or ground ancho chile pepper 1 cup restaurant-style salsa ½ cup rinsed and drained canned black or pinto beans 2 eggs 1 tortilla corn 1/2 peeled and sliced avocado Fresh cilantro leaves Directions In a 6- to 8-inch skillet, heat 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the sweet potatoes. Cook, stirring once, until completely heated through, about 7 minutes. Stir in chili powder; cook for 30 seconds. Stir in the salsa and pinto beans. Bring the mixture just to simmering. Make two indentations in the mixture with the back of a spoon. Break the eggs one at a time into a custard cup and slip into the indentations. Simmer, covered, over medium-low until the whites are set and the yolk has thickened, 7 to 9 minutes. Serve with a corn tortilla. To warm the tortilla, wrap in paper towels and microwave on high until warm, about 20 seconds. Top with the sliced avocado and cilantro (if using).
