Drescription

This easy and satisfying Mexican-inspired breakfast recipe brings lots of flavor to your plate. Using a mix of fresh and store-bought ingredients, breakfast is on the table in 20 minutes.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup no-sodium-added black beans, rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice, divided
  • ¼ teaspoon taco seasoning
  • ¼ avocado, mashed
  • ¼ cup diced roma tomato
  • 1 tablespoon diced white onion
  • 1 (6-inch) whole-wheat or corn tortilla
  • nonstick cooking spray
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup shredded romaine lettuce

Directions

  1. Combine black beans, water, 1 tablespoon lime juice and taco seasoning in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on High for 2 minutes. Using a fork, mash the beans into a paste; set aside.
  2. Mash avocado with a fork in a small bowl. Add tomato, onion, the remaining 1 tablespoon lime juice and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
  3. Coat tortilla on both sides with cooking spray. Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the tortilla to the pan and toast, flipping once, until crisp and lightly browned on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  4. Crack egg into the pan and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, flipping once if desired, until the white is set, 2 to 3 minutes.
  5. To assemble the tostada, layer the bean mixture, avocado mixture and lettuce on the tortilla. Top with the egg.

Slow Cooker Brisket & Onions over Buttery Mashed Potatoes

This brisket is seasoned with tangy mustard, sweet turbinado sugar and pungent garlic. Substitute brown sugar for the turbinado, if desired, and use the tube variety of tomato paste so any leftovers stay fresh longer. We recommend serving this braised beef over mashed potatoes, but it'd be just as delicious over rice, spaghetti squash or pasta.

Anti-Inflammatory Cherry-Spinach Smoothie

This healthy smoothie is not only delicious—it also provides anti-inflammatory foods. It starts with a base of creamy gut-friendly kefir and includes cherries, which can lower the inflammatory marker C-reactive protein. Heart-healthy fats in avocado, almond butter and chia seeds deliver additional anti-inflammatory compounds, while spinach offers a mix of antioxidants that sweep up harmful free radicals. Fresh ginger adds zing, plus a compound called gingerol, which preliminary studies suggest may improve inflammatory markers of heart disease if consumed daily.
