Recovery Food...Eggs

Tweet

Most times when I get home from a run I make myself some sort of smoothie with protein, etc. But shortly after, I crave food and want something salty and with substance. So what do I go to...eggs. Usually I just make some sort of veggie/egg omelet but I wanted to give you a few other recipes for you to try!

 

 

Ranchero Egg Skillet

4 Servings

 

4 tortillas (I use a corn tortilla or sometimes wheat bread)

4 eggs (I use 2 eggs, rest egg whites beat together)

2 cups Black Beans

1 tsp Minced Garlic

2 Tomatoes (Diced)

1 tsp Cumin

1 tsp Coriander

1/2 tsp Chile Powder

1/2 tsp Paprika

1/2 tsp Salt

Dash of Pepper

2 T Water

Olive Oil

2 T Cilantro (Chopped)

1 Lime (Cut into Wedges)

1/2 C Cotija or Feta Cheese (optional)

 

Optional Additions:

Bell Pepper, Zucchini, Mushrooms, Kale

 

Preheat Oven to 400. In a pan, sauté onion and any additional veggies together until tender. (About 5 minutes). Add garlic & sauté for a min or two. Add 1/2 tomatoes (leave other half to top eggs with) and black beans, spices & water. Let simmer on med low for a few mins. Stir occasionally.

 

In a cake pan, place the bean/veggie mixture in the bottom. Poor the egg mixture evenly over the bean/veggies. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. If you want, sprinkle cheese over the eggs. Place in the oven and cook for 10-12 mins and then check. Cook until the eggs are cooked to your desire.
