Had the most delicious dinner yesterday. Huevos rancheros. Basically this is made from a tortilla topped with enchilada sauce, cheese and a sunny side egg.
It’s been a while since I’ve been able to have these. I keep my Crohn’s under control by avoiding all gluten and corn. I also avoid all gluten and corn derivatives. One such corn derivative is white distilled vinegar. White vinegar will send me into a flare.
Siete extra large burrito wraps use cassava and tapeoca flours. These fit in perfectly with my diet. I also purchased Siete enchilada sauce. This worked since they use apple cider vinegar. Not only does it fit in with my diet but it also adds a nice flavor to the sauce.
The extra large burritos were just that, extra large. Dinner plate size. I took advantage of the size to stuff them with leftover food for dinner. A few days later when I made the Huevos rancheros I stuffed them with sauteed peppers, mushrooms and red onions. One burrito was enough for a meal. The burritos held up very well. No cracking. I simply threw them on a hot pan for about 20 seconds on each side with a bit of olive oil.
The enchilada sauce had a wonderful chipotle or paprika flavor to it which we really enjoyed. Nice consistency to the sauce. Thick enough to stay on the burrito wrap. It comes in a good size jar so there is a lot left for other experiments.
All in all I found two great items that fit in with my diet. They would be delicious even if I didn't need to be gluten free, as my husband, who is not gluten and corn free, can attest to. He had never had Huevos rancheros before but now it is one of his new favorite meals.
Yesterday morning I used some of the enchilada sauce with my scrambled eggs. it was like a spicy ketchup. I can not use ketchup for two reasons. One is because it uses the white distilled vinegar. and second is because it is made with corn syrup. the enchilada sauce was wonderful.
