Description

A hearty and flavorful one-pot breakfast featuring potatoes, eggs, and cheese, perfect for busy mornings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large potatoes, diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
  • 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish
  • Optional: sliced avocado or jalapeño for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the potatoes: Begin by dicing the potatoes into small cubes.
  2. Cook the potatoes: In a large pot or skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are golden and fork-tender.
  3. Add the vegetables: Once the potatoes are cooked, add the chopped onion and bell peppers. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
  4. Season the mixture: Sprinkle in the cumin and chili powder. Stir well to combine and let it cook for another minute.
  5. Incorporate beans and eggs: Add the black beans to the pot, stirring until they are well mixed. Crack the eggs directly into the pot, stirring gently.
  6. Add cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top. Cover the pot with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted.
  7. Garnish and serve: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve warm, topped with sliced avocado or jalapeño if desired.
