Okay, I LOVE Rashida Jones. She's got a dry sense of humor, stylishness, low-key attitude, and uber-cool cohorts (including dad, Quincy Jones and ex-fiance, Mark Ronson). I believe the term is "girl crush," ie: a girl that other girls want to copy and be best-friends with.
So when I read Aziz Ansari (Rashida's Parks & Recreation co-star, and a fellow foodie) twitter about the "Rashida Special," I was intrigued.
azizansari Bout to do up the best breakfast ever aka the Rashida special - egg whites, avocado, black beans, and turkey bacon in a tortilla.I've read this post months ago, but today after the gym it felt like a breakfast burrito kind of morning...with a little more preparation, I would've pulled together a Rashida special, but today I used what I had.
1 flour tortilla
1/2c Egg substitute
2 tbs black beans
2 Morningstar Farms Sausage Links (no-meat)
sprinkle of extra sharp cheddar
1tbs green chiles
1. Lay one flour tortilla on a plate, sprinkle with water, microwave for 20 seconds to soften.
2. Spray a small bowl with cooking spray and add egg substitute. Microwave for 2-3 minutes stirring occasionally until cooked through. Remove and lay on tortilla, sprinkle with cheese.
3. Heat Sausage links as instructed on package (1min 20 sec). Place in a straight line down the center of the tortilla. Top with green chiles.
4. Season beans with salt & pepper, heat 30 seconds or until warm. Spoon on top.
5. Wrap it up, carefully making sure to get everything inside.
This meal was quick and delicious (with the help of my trusty microwave), but the Rashida Special is definitely going to be added to my menu...hopefully with more success than my emulation of Rashida's bangs...
