Ingredients

1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed

1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies

1 small onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 bell pepper (any color), diced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon chili powder

¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust for heat preference)

Salt and pepper to taste

4 large eggs

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Avocado, sliced (for serving)

Crumbled feta cheese (optional, for serving)

Tortilla chips (optional, for serving)

Instructions

Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the onion is translucent and the pepper is tender. Add minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.

Add the Beans and Tomatoes: Stir in the black beans, diced tomatoes with green chilies, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let it cook for about 7-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the chili to thicken slightly.

Make the Wells for Eggs: Using a spoon, create four small wells in the chili mixture. Carefully crack the eggs into each well.

Cook the Eggs: Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain slightly runny (adjust cooking time for firmer yolks).

Serve: Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, remove the skillet from heat. Top with fresh cilantro, avocado slices, and crumbled feta cheese if using. Serve hot, alongside tortilla chips for a delightful crunch!
