Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Low-sodium black beans
- 0.5 cup, diced Red bell pepper
- 1 cup Baby spinach
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 clove, minced Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 sliced Avocado
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh cilantro
Instructions
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together until well blended.
Rinse the black beans under cold water to remove excess sodium, and then drain well.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and diced red bell pepper to the skillet, and sauté for about 2 minutes until the bell pepper begins to soften.
Stir in the black beans, cumin, turmeric, black pepper, and salt. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the beans are heated through and the spices are fragrant.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and cook for an additional minute, just until the spinach wilts.
Reduce the heat to low and gently pour the eggs over the vegetable and bean mixture. Allow the eggs to set slightly around the edges, about 30 seconds.
Slowly stir the eggs with a spatula, lifting and folding the mixture until the eggs are cooked to your liking, about 2-4 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish the scrambled eggs with sliced avocado and chopped fresh cilantro.
Serve the heart-healthy scrambled eggs with beans immediately as a wholesome meal.
