Huevos Rancheros
Breakfast Burritos
On weekends, it’s fun to lay out
high-fiber, heart-healthy taco
bar fixins and let everyone graze
through a leisurely morning. On
school/work days, rolled-ahead
burritos get wrapped in foil, kept
warm in the oven and handed off
as the kids run out the door.

ADUKI BEANS
These nutty, sweet beans are the

fat and highest amount of protein.
They’re also a great source of
fiber, potassium, niacin, thiamine,
riboflavin and B vitamins.
AVOCADOS
Rich in a compound called beta-sitosterol, which has been shown
to be effective in lowering blood
cholesterol levels, avocados are also
a great source of potassium, which
helps control blood pressure levels.
GARLIC
Eating garlic has long been
considered helpful in managing blood
pressure and cholesterol levels.
