Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small red or sweet onion - chopped (about 3/4 cup)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic - minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon Mexican oregano leaves
  • 1 green or red fresh chile - minced (see notes)
  • ½ cup broth/stock
  • 1 can petite diced tomatoes - and their juice
  • 1 can black beans - rinsed and drained
  • 1 lime - squeezed
  • sea salt/fresh ground pepper
  • 2 eggs
  • cilantro - for garnish
  • avocado - for garnish
  • cotija - optional
  • lime wedges - for garnish

Instructions

Black Beans and Tomatoes

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees (375 convection) if baking the eggs.
  • Add olive oil to a saute pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic. Saute until softened (2-3 minutes).
  • Add minced cumin, Mexican oregano, and chile. Saute an additional minute
  • De-glaze the pan with broth/stock. Add tomatoes in their juice and black beans. Squeeze the juice of the lime over top. Season with salt and pepper. Cover, and reduce to a simmer. Cook 10 minutes.

Baked Eggs

  • If baking eggs, spoon the tomato mixture into appropriate serving dishes. Make a "well" (indentation) in the center for each egg. Break egg into the black bean and tomato mixture. Bake until whites are opaque, or as desired. We like our yolks runny, and this takes 10 minutes in our convection oven.

Stove Top Eggs

  • If finishing on the stove, make a "well" for each egg. Break the egg into the tomato mixture. Cover. Reduce heat to low, and allow to cook until whites are opaque, and you reach desired doneness.

To Serve

  • Spoon into a serving dish (or serve in your baking vessel if done in the oven). Garnish with cilantro, avocado slices, crumbled cotija, and a lime wedge as desired. Enjoy!
