Ever had breakfast for dinner?
I don’t know about you but nothing is easier than whipping up some eggs and other breakfast fare when you’re just plain tired after a long day.
So I adapted this Huevos Rancheros recipe from SimplyRecipes.com. I went low carb by omitting the corn tortillas.
I started up by chopping two large tomatoes and combining them with enchilada sauce.
In another pan I made my own refried beans by mashing up some pinto beans.
In the end I got this sweet and slightly spicy tomato sauce doused over a warm over easy egg and refried beans. The combo of these three textures and flavors was very comforting. It’ll definitely be in my list of recipes to make for a busy day!

Oh I love the addition of pinto beans, very unique, and delicous! Huevos Rancheros was one of my favorite dishes in Tucson. There was a place we loved going, one of those dives, that just rock! Best Huevos Rancheros in town, my opinion of course, LOL! Hugs, Terra
