Love, Sweat, and Beers

I had something else planned for today, but I decided a recipe was in order. Many of you have seen “Tiffos Rancheros” mentioned in a few posts. I always thought the “recipe” was too simple to bother posting.

That was until I made it again for dinner Wednesday night. It’s so cheap, easy, and delicious that I finally decided to share the details. It’s a true 20-minute meal. Yes, that includes wash, chop, and cook time!

**Don’t you hate it when you cook a recipe that’s labeled, “30-minute Meal” but then it takes you almost an hour? Yeah, me too.

This was one of my single-girl go-to meals, so I have created the recipe below as 1 lunch or dinner serving.

Ingredients:

• olive oil (I use about 2 tsp.)
• fat-free refried beans (I use about 3/4 cup.)
• salsa of your choice (I use about 1/4 a cup or so.)
• jalapenos (pickled or fresh)
• 1/3 bell pepper
• 1/3 large onion
• 2 eggs
• shredded lettuce

Directions:

1. Wash and chop your pepper and onion.
2. Heat oil in non-stick pan, or use more oil in a regular pan. Cook bell pepper, onion, and fresh jalapeno. If using pickled jalapeno, keep that to the side.
3. As veggies are softening, spread beans on a plate. Heat beans in the microwave until warm. Top with pickled jalapenos (if using) and salsa. Re-heat in microwave until all is warm.
4. Add eggs to cooking veggies. Scramble the eggs.
5. Place shredded lettuce on the beans and salsa.
6. When eggs and vegetables are finished cooking, place egg mixture atop the lettuce. Enjoy!

get in muh bellay

Oh, and because this is such an egg-cellent post (sorry… that was really bad), I have to share yesterday’s breakfast with you. It’s eggs, spinach, onion, and mushroom on a wheat English muffin. Yum yum yum!

Sometimes taking a rest day has its benefits… mainly good coffee and warm, cooked breakfast.
