Discover how jicama, a low-glycemic root vegetable, can benefit women with PCOS. Learn about its nutritional value and delicious ways to incorporate it into your diet.
Recipe by Robin Bashinsky and Adam Hickman This Mexican classic is commonly served topped with eggs, but it's just as delicious without, as a savory crowd-pleaser that skews more toward the lunch end of brunch. Simply bake the casserole, top with cheese,
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups chopped chorizo sausage with casing removed
2 cups chopped onion
1 1/2 cups chopped zucchini
1/4 cup chopped fresh oregano
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 poblano pepper, seeded and chopped
1 tablespoon chopped canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 (26.5-ounce) cartons Italian chopped tomatoes
12 (6-inch) corn tostadas
8 large eggs
3/4 cup (about 4 ounces) crumbled queso fresco
1 diced avocado
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Lime wedges
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chorizo; sauté 5 minutes or until browned. Remove from skillet with a slotted spoon, and drain on paper towels. Add onion and next 5 ingredients to skillet. Sauté 5 minutes or until vegetables are slightly soft. Add drained chorizo, chipotle, salt, and tomatoes. Bring to a simmer; cook 5 minutes or until liquid thickens slightly. Remove from heat; let cool 15 minutes. 2. Spread 1/2 cup tomato mixture into the bottom of a 9- x 13-inch baking dish. Arrange 6 tostadas over tomato mixture. Top with half of remaining tomato mixture. Repeat with remaining tostadas and tomato mixture. Cover and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight. 3. Preheat oven to 425 °. Bake, uncovered, 35 minutes. Remove baking dish from oven, make 8 shallow indentations in the casserole with the back of a spoon, and carefully crack in eggs. Bake 5 minutes or until egg whites are just set. Remove baking dish from oven, and preheat broiler to high. Sprinkle casserole with queso fresco; broil 2 minutes or until cheese melts. Top with avocado and cilantro, and serve with lime wedges.
