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)

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a medium bowl, add the milk, and whisk until well combined. Set aside.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Divide the Southwest Scrambles onto plates. Top with a spoonful of salsa, a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, and optional slices of avocado for garnish.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy your Southwest Scrambles!
