Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pcs large eggs
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 pcs red bell pepper, diced
- 1 pcs green bell pepper, diced
- 1 pcs yellow onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup salsa
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 pcs avocado, sliced (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium bowl, add the milk, and whisk until well combined. Set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced red and green bell peppers and chopped onion. Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the onion is translucent.
Stir in the black beans and sauté for another 2 minutes, allowing them to warm through. Add the ground cumin, salt, and black pepper, and stir to coat the vegetables evenly with the spices.
Pour the whisked eggs over the vegetable mixture. Reduce the heat to medium-low and gently stir with a spatula, moving the eggs around constantly to create soft curds. Cook the eggs until they are set but still moist, about 5–7 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the scrambled eggs with shredded cheddar cheese. Cover the skillet for 1–2 minutes to allow the cheese to melt.
Divide the Southwest Scrambles onto plates. Top with a spoonful of salsa, a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, and optional slices of avocado for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Southwest Scrambles!
