On my not-crazy diet, I’m supposed to eat a boatload of green veggies every day. I’m also supposed to eat lots of beans, and because I’m nursing I’m allowed to eat a small amount of animal protein each day (in the form of eggs or fish).
Tonight we decided to have eggs. But because of the need for leafy greens, I decided to have green eggs. And because of the need for beans, I decided to add black beans. And by that time it was near enough to huevos rancheros, I decided to just make a ranchero sauce and heat up some stone-ground corn tortillas (I’m allowed to have small quantities of corn).
I combined two recipes from Feeding the Whole Family in a kind of culinary Flintstones-meet-Jetsons (follow the links above for the recipes). I layered on a plate: warmed corn tortillas, green eggs, black beans, and ranchero sauce.
It was very pretty, so I took a picture of it.
And it was darned good, too. My husband didn’t even put cheese on his, so you know it must have been tasty.
Imperfect Happiness 
Looks great! Can’t wait to try out this recipe. Thank you for sharing!

YUM! I love Huevos Rancheros. I followed your link to the eggs and will now have green eggs and healthy home fries for dinner tonight. 🙂 Love it when I have everything for a recipe I come across. My kids love breakfast for dinner. Maybe next week I’ll do the Huevos. Thanks for the inspiration. 🙂
