It’s almost the weekend!! So, naturally, I can’t get my mind off of brunch. And when I dream of brunch, my mind goes straight to Huevos Rancheros!
It’s a hearty breakfast that’s satisfying, nutritious, easy, quick and delicious. Lightly fried tortillas, fresh spinach, black beans, vegan scrambled ‘eggs’, salsa, avocado, tomato, onion, cilantro… what’s not to love?!
The scramble ‘eggs’ are chickpea flour-based, super high in protein and deeelicious! They’re so versatile too! Not only can you scramble them, you can make quiches, omelettes, ‘eggs’ florentine – you name it!
The ‘eggs’ aren’t the star of the show here, though. The Homemade Salsa Verde makes this dish especially delicious! Homemade salsa in general beats store-bought salsa no doubt, but warm salsa verde is just extra delish.
