    1/2 cup (125 mL) diced red onion

    2 garlic cloves, minced

    1 tsp (5 mL) chili powder

    2 tsp (10 mL) cumin, divided

    2 cups (500 mL) cooked green lentils

    1/2 cup (125 mL) chopped cilantro, divided

    1 lime, juiced, divided

    1 cup (250 mL) salsa verde

    6 corn tortillas

    6 eggs

    GARNISHES: crumbled Feta cheese, sliced radish, sliced avocado, chopped cilantro, hot sauce


Directions

  1. Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook for a few minutes until translucent. Stir in garlic, chili powder, and 1 tsp (5 mL) cumin and cook for another minute. Stir in lentils and 1/4 cup (60 mL) water. Cover with a lid, reducing heat to medium-low. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring often. If the pan gets dry, add a splash or two of water. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup (60 mL) cilantro and half the lime juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  2. In a small saucepan, stir together salsa verde and remaining cilantro, lime juice, and cumin. Heat over low heat just until warmed through. Do not boil.
  3. Warm tortillas in a large skillet.
  4. Cook eggs your preferred way.
  5. Assemble the huevos rancheros: On each plate, top tortilla with spiced lentils, salsa verde, and an egg. Garnish with Feta, radishes, avocado, cilantro, and hot sauce. Serve immediately.
