HUEVOS RACHEROS

I’m in a Texan state of mind after receiving my Feast SBS Food magazine last night. First thing on the menu- Vegetarian, gluten & dairy-free Huevos Rancheros-which is actually a breakfast dish, which can be served with rice, beans, cheese, avocado, salsa and eggs. This is a rather light meal if you only eat 1 tortilla and is therefore perfect for dinner. This is definitely the healthiest option on the Texan menu, alongside Double-crust cherry pie, Chocolate cream pie, Chicken fried steak and Biscuits with pulled brisket and milk gravy. You got to love Southern comfort!

INGREDIENTS

• 1 small ripe avocado, roughly chopped
• 4 gluten-free tortillas 
• 8 fried eggs (with a small amount of coconut oil)
• dairy free cheese to serve, such as sheep's cheese or goat's cheese

Spicy tomato sauce

• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• 1/3 cup gluten-free salsa
• 1/2 teaspoon chilli flakes
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon lime juice
• 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
• 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 4 tomatoes, finely chopped

COOKING 

1. Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and onion and cook for 4-5 minutes or until onion is soft. Add tomatoes, spices, chilli, lime juice and salsa and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and season with sea salt & pepper. 

2. Meanwhile, preheat fan-forced oven to 200 degrees celsius. Line a baking tray with baking paper and place tortillas on top. Cook in the oven for 4-5 minutes or until slightly baked. 

3. To serve, place 2 fried eggs on each tortilla, top with a generous amount of tomato sauce and drizzle cheese and avocado over the top. Serve warm.
