Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium, diced red bell pepper
• 0.5 medium, diced yellow onion
• 0.5 cup, drained and rinsed canned black beans
• 0.5 cup, shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh cilantro
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.25 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 small, sliced (optional) avocado
• 1 tablespoon (optional) hot sauce
• 4 small (optional for serving) tortillas

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the diced red bell pepper and onion to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are softened.

Step 4

Stir in the black beans, ground cumin, and chili powder. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to warm through and toast the spices slightly.

Step 5

Reduce heat to medium-low and pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Gently stir the eggs with a spatula as they cook, scraping the bottom of the pan frequently to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Once the eggs are mostly set but slightly runny, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top. Continue to cook for 1-2 minutes until the eggs are fully cooked and the cheese is melted.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the scrambled eggs with fresh cilantro.

Step 8

Serve the Southwest Scramble immediately. Optionally, garnish with sliced avocado and drizzle with hot sauce. For a heartier meal, serve with warm tortillas on the side.
