You can serve sausage or hot dogs (or veggie equivalent) or sliced tomato on the side. Very simple and so delicious. Typical weeknight meal in Spain.

Oh my gosh, I LOVED this meal when I was studying abroad. My madre would also serve this with fried plantains mixed in. It was so so good for something that doesn't sound that good. Thank you for the tip about the goya spanish style tomato sauce. I've had a hard time finding a sweet tomato sauce to complete this dish.

We do a Korean version of this--simplified bibimbap. White rice, fried egg, a splash of soy sauce, and kimchi. Yum.

This is on my "to try" list, looks like it would freeze well:

My son has a dairy allergy and my kids are young and don't like sauces or dressings on their food. I try to have at least 2 or 3 veggies at every meal (fresh if I have it, frozen if not). Then, I will make the main dish which is often deconstructed (certainly the cheese or dairy is seperate for obvious reasons). Last night was pasta and I seperated out the main components. and make it like a "make your own". Last night we had (each in it's own bowl) - tuna, shrimp, chickpeas, cut up cucs & tomatoes, pesto sauce, and sunflower seeds. Each adult and each child picked what they wanted to mix together. For the kids, I require that they eat their veggies and one protein at least. I always try to include something that they like or will eat. We do this sort of meal with tacos and in reverse with soups (I let them take out what they don't like). When putting the left overs away we keep them deconstructed which makes it easier the next day to make up some new combination. Chili becomes enchiladas. Broccoli gets added to stir fry etc.

How about Migas? Scrambled eggs and corn tortillas. Onion, garlic, jalapeno. Dh could add chorizo. Top w/avocado and tomato. This is a weeknight staple for us.
