I don't know about you but since we're all home we are comfortable in
our clothes and many days that means pajamas. (saves on laundry too)
Breakfast for dinner is not only economical but easy to prepare.
Eggs
bacon or turkey bacon
pancakes/waffles
hash browns
toast/bagels
fruit
frittata
a few classic ingredients that come to mind right away....
Mixing it up a bit,
we love Mexican inspired flavors,
protein punch this dinner has beans and eggs.
Keeping tummies full.
Huevos Rancheros Verdes - great dinner with plenty of flavour
serves 4
1 1/2 cups very thinly sliced romaine lettuce
1 scallion, sliced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
3 teaspoons canola oil, divided
2 teaspoons lime juice
¼ teaspoon salt, divided
¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper, divided
1 15-ounce can pinto beans, rinsed
1/2 cup prepared green salsa , (see Tip)
8 6-inch corn tortillas
Canola oil cooking spray
¾ cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
4 large eggs
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Combine lettuce, scallion, cilantro, 1 teaspoon oil, lime juice, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper in a bowl; set aside. Combine beans and salsa in another bowl.
Coat both sides of each tortilla with cooking spray. Place tortillas on a large baking sheet in 4 sets of overlapping pairs. (Each pair should overlap by about 3 inches.) Spread about 1/3 cup of the bean mixture on top of each pair of tortillas and sprinkle with 3 tablespoons cheese each. Bake until the beans are hot and the cheese is melted, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Crack each egg into a small bowl and slip them one at a time into the pan, taking care not to break the yolks. Season the eggs with the remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt and pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook undisturbed for 5 to 7 minutes for soft-set yolks. (For hard-set yolks, cover the pan after 5 minutes and continue cooking until the yolks are cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes more.)
To assemble, place an egg on top of each pair of tortillas and top with a generous 1/4 cup of the lettuce mixture. Green salsa (sometimes labeled salsa verde or tomatillo salsa) is made with tomatillos, green chiles, and onions. Look for it near other prepared salsa in large supermarkets.
