This paleo huevos rancheros recipe is surprisingly easy, quick, healthy, gluten-free, keto and low fodmap!
I love food. It’s as simple as that. I saw a popular Instagrammer post a plain salad with chicken and talk about how she just loves boring meals (no shame, good for her) and while that’s cool – it ain’t me.
I don’t like boring food.
I want variety, I want flavor, I want spices and depth and deliciousness.
And I want it to be healthy.
That’s how I came up with this huevos rancheros recipe! It’s not a traditional recipe and I’m sure any native Central American would make a better version, this is how I made it. And honestly, it was pretty damn good.
Health benefits of paleo huevos rancheros:
- 20 grams of protein, mostly from the eggs
- rich in choline from the egg yolks
- loaded with antioxidants from the tomatoes, bell pepper and avocado
- rich in fiber (avocado)
- contains over six different vegetables, which helps build a healthy gut microbiome
- low in carbohydrate which will help maintain balanced blood sugar
Tips:
- I am healing from some gut issues so I’m on a low FODMAP diet – if you’re not feel free to add onion and garlic!
- Like all of my recipes, this does not have to be followed to a T. Add whatever you have on hand and don’t worry if you’re missing an ingredient!
- If you don’t have fresh tomatoes, use canned.
- If you don’t have access to grain-free Siete tortillas, you can make your own or just use corn to keep it gluten-free.
