Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • For the base:
  • 1/2 medium sweet potato diced
  • 1/2 cup black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil or avocado oil
  • Pinch of cumin
  • Pinch of chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • For the eggs:
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon milk or water
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon butter or oil for cooking
  • For the toppings:
  • 1/4 avocado sliced
  • 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 2 tablespoons shredded cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1 green onion sliced
  • 3 tablespoons salsa or pico de gallo
  • 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • Lime wedge
  • Hot sauce optional

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Roast the Sweet Potatoes
  2. Preheat your oven to 425°F. Toss the diced sweet potato with oil, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer on a lined baking sheet and roast for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and tender. They get lightly caramelized and add the perfect sweet-savory balance.
  3. Step 2: Warm the Beans
  4. Heat the beans in a small saucepan with a pinch of cumin and salt. Add a splash of water if needed and warm for about 5 minutes.
  5. Step 3: Scramble the Eggs
  6. Whisk the eggs with milk, salt, and pepper. Cook in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat with butter or oil, gently stirring to form soft curds. Remove while slightly glossy so they stay tender.
  7. Step 4: Build the Bowl
  8. Start with sweet potatoes and beans, then add eggs. Top with avocado, tomatoes, cheese, cilantro, and green onion. Finish with salsa, yogurt or sour cream, and a squeeze of lime. Add hot sauce if you like.
