Ingredients
  

  • 1 can 15 oz black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup salsa your choice of mild or spicy
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 avocado diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish
  • Corn tortillas 4-6, depending on size

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  2. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  3. Add the black beans, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
  4. Spread the black bean mixture evenly in a baking dish.
  5. Make four small wells in the mixture and crack an egg into each well.
  6. Pour the salsa over the eggs and sprinkle with cheddar cheese.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
  8. While the eggs are baking, warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave.
  9. Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool for a minute.
  10. Top with diced avocado and fresh cilantro before serving.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add sliced jalapeños to the black bean mixture.
  • You can also substitute the cheddar cheese with crumbled feta or cotija cheese for a different flavor profile.
