Recipe for Huevos Rancheros

I usually don’t make New Years resolutions, but I do like to set goals for myself…in January or any other month. Well, this year we set some goals as a couple and one of them was to eat more protein.
Most people get plenty of protein, but I don’t eat meat, so I struggle with this sometimes. And since we cook and eat together, most of our meals are meatless. Poor Joshua. I don’t care if he eats meat, it doesn’t bug me, we just usually go the veggie route. I am glad he likes veggies:) 
So I am trying to sneak more protein into our diets. We recently made huevos rancheros for dinner. It is traditionally served at breakfast, but I don’t think I could stomach this in the morning. It is more of a lunch/dinner meal for me.  

There are tons of variations of this meal, we really didn’t follow a certain recipe, we just used our favorite flavors. We used flour tortillas and topped them with the goods. Josh fried up two eggs for his, but I used scrambled egg whites. We both used black beans, tomatoes, cheese, cilantro, avocado, and fresh lime juice.

I really liked this meal.

It was easy, filling, and loaded with protein!!
