Huevos Rancheros
A lower Sodium and Fat version of a favorite restaurant dish. The sauce has a little smokey flavor from chipotle peppers and the beans are just as easy as opening canned ones, but way better tasting. We like the TortillaLand tortillas, but you can use any soft taco size (47g) tortilla you want.
