TULSA - A healthy alternative to eggs benedict with a South American Flair. Nicely served with sliced tropical fruits like pineapple and strawberries.

Minutes to Prepare: 15

Minutes to Cook: 15

Number of Servings: 6

Tips:

Add a little dollop of non fat Greek yogurt to add creamy to the dish if you would like in place of sour cream.

Ingredients:

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

6 medium tomatoes, whole-cored
1 Anaheim chilies pepper, diced
15 ounce can black beans
3 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 cup green, raw and chopped
12 Spanish stuffed green olives
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon corn starch
2 tablespoon tap water
1/4 cup cilantro, fresh
6 corn tortillas, medium (6 inch diameter)
cooking spray
6 large eggs
Extra cilantro for garnish

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and let eggs come to room temperature. Bring large sauce pan of water to a boil and drop cored tomatoes in for one minute. Remove tomatoes from hot water and place in cold water. Remove skins.

Dice tomatoes and place in a medium sauce pan with diced chilies, black beans, garlic, green onions, olives, black pepper, cumin seed, chili powder, and salt. Cook for a few minutes over medium heat until chilies soften.

Combine corn starch and 2 tablespoons of water together to make a slurry. Add to tomato mixture and stir over medium heat until salsa starts to thicken and looks glossy. Set aside.

On a large cookie sheet sprayed with cooking spray, add corn tortillas side by side and spray tops with spray as well. Warm in preheated oven for 5 minutes. In a shallow skillet add 2 inches of water and 1/4 teaspoons of salt. Bring to a simmer.

Break eggs in a separate dish and add one by one to the simmering water. Once all eggs are in the pan give the pan a slight shake to allow water to cover tops of eggs and allow to cook for 4 minutes so whites are firm and yolks are slightly runny.

Place corn tortilla on a plate, 1/6 of to salsa mixture, and 1 poached egg. Garnish with extra cilantro and red pepper flakes.
