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

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together until well blended.

Step 2

Rinse the black beans under cold water to remove excess sodium, and then drain well.

Step 3

In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Add the baby spinach to the skillet and cook for an additional minute, just until the spinach wilts.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Slowly stir the eggs with a spatula, lifting and folding the mixture until the eggs are cooked to your liking, about 2-4 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish the scrambled eggs with sliced avocado and chopped fresh cilantro.

Step 10

Serve the heart-healthy scrambled eggs with beans immediately as a wholesome meal.
