Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup of brown rice (uncooked)
  • 1 can (15 oz) of black beans
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 cup of salsa
  • 1/4 cup of cilantro, chopped
  • 1/2 cup of shredded cheese (cheddar or queso fresco)
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil

  • Instructions

  • Step 1: In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 cup of brown rice, stir, and reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for about 30 minutes or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.
  • Step 2: While the rice is cooking, heat a skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of olive oil. Crack 4 large eggs into the skillet and scramble them gently until just set.
  • Step 3: In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil, diced onion, and bell pepper. Sauté until soft, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Step 4: Drain and rinse the black beans, then add them to the sautéed vegetables. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  • Step 5: Start with a base of brown rice, layer with the veggie-bean mixture, scrambled eggs, sliced avocado, and salsa. Top with shredded cheese and fresh cilantro.
