Healthy Cinco De Mayo Part 1: Huevos Rancheros! (Paleo friendly)



Huevos Rancheros!
This is what I'm making for the hubby Cinco De Mayo morning!!! enjoy!



Ingredients

Tomato Salsa:
6 medium tomatoes, about 775 grams (Fresh is way better than canned.)
1/2 onion, coarsely chopped
2 garlic cloves, in large chunks
1/2 teaspoon unprocessed salt
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Refried Sweet Potatoes:
2 tablespoons coconut or olive oil
1/2 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 pound organic sausage or chorizo, optional
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/8 teaspoon pure chipotle powder
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
8 ounces mushrooms, finely chopped
1 sweet potato, raw and grated
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast (for cheese flavor)
2 tablespoons lemon juice (for sharp cheese flavor)
1/4 cup coconut butter (for a rich cheese-sauce)
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
Black pepper

Fried Eggs:
6 large eggs - The Best Eggs are Pasture-raised Organic

Garnish:
Large handful cilantro, chopped
1 avocado, sliced

Instructions

Tomato Salsa:
Add all ingredients to a food processor: tomatoes, green onions, garlic, salt, chili powder, and ground cumin. Pulse until tomatoes are in pieces, without turning into mush. Pour into a serving bowl. Season to taste.

Refried Sweet Potatoes:
Heat oil in a medium to large skillet over medium heat. Saute the onion and garlic for a few minutes until they begin to soften. Add the chili powder, chipotle powder, and cumin. Add the optional sausage, and cook another 5 minutes. Add mushrooms, and sauté until they begin to soften. Add grated sweet potato and mix it in. Pour 1/4 cup filtered water into the bottom of the pan and cover, to allow the steam to cook the sweet potato. Stir in remaining ingredients: yeast, lemon juice, coconut butter, salt, and pepper. When the sweet potato is soft but not mushy, remove from heat.

Fried Eggs:
In a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, add a bit of olive oil. Break the eggs into the pan and lower the heat. Fry the eggs to your taste - sunny-side up, over-easy or scrambled. Add salt and pepper.

Serve:
Use a large serving platter, individual plates, or serve buffet-style. Add a few spoonfuls of Refried Sweet Potatoes. Put fried egg on top. Pour Tomato Salsa over everything. Garnish with sliced avocado and chopped cilantro. ¡Ay, caramba!
