Low Carb Huevos Rancheros Recipe

Since starting a Keto Diet in June or 2018, I've lost roughly 15lbs, I'm sharing my journey on an instagram page entitled "Dining While Keto"  and Ive also created a list of Keto Friendly Restaurants on Yelp.

I wasn't a carbivore before starting this diet but some of my carby favorites like: Tortillas, Pizza, Rice and Plantains were not easy to replace. I've found equitable or even better tasting substitutes but the one thing I missed was Corn Tortillas, specifically Tacos and Huevos Ranchero. Almond Flour and Egg Tortillas just didnt cut it. And the CarbSmart flour tortillas were good but it wasnt an equal to the corn version.

I searched the internet high and low for a susceptible version of my favorite breakfast food, Huevos Rancheros but came up with the aforementioned egg/almond flour versions. Then a lightbulb went off in my head: I'd have to create my own version!

So here it is, my favorite breakfast recipe: Huevos Rancheros

This recipe doesn't call for the traditional Rancheros sauce, but the Beef Chorizo is a formidable companion in this dish.

Kassie's Keto Huevos Rancheros



Serves 2 people

Ingredients

Handful (1/2 c.) of finely shredded Monterey Jack Cheese per shell


4 Large Brown Eggs 





Step 1
Buy or make Avocado (or regular) Pico De Gallo according to linked directions. Set aside in fridge.

Step 2
Cook Beef Chorizo according to package directions. Set Aside

Step 3
Using a non stick pan free of blemishes or defect (I like using ceramic coated pan) on medium high heat grab a handful (1/2 cup or more) of shredded Monterey Jack Cheese and place in the center of pan in a circle about the size of a small tortilla. You can click here to see the technique. Fry until melted and golden, flip and fry the other side. Repeat 3 more times to make 2 shells per person.

Step 4
Plate two fried cheese shells per person.

Step 5
Take two spoonfuls of the beef chorizo and spread on each cheese shell

Step 6
Cook egg to your preference: Poached, Scrambled, Over Easy or my personal favorite Sunny Side Up. Place egg on top of the chorizo topped cheese shell.

Step 7
Take 1/4 cup of the Pico and place on top or off center of the egg

Step 8
Drizzle Avocado Cream Sauce

Net Carbs per one Huevos: 7g

I like to accompany this with a mimosa (splash of OJ only) and a side salad.
I may update this with some more step-by-step photos. 

Enjoy!
