Ingredients
- 1 small onion small diced
- 1 medium sweet potato small diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- Salt and pepper
- ¼ teaspoon chili powder
- 1 can pinto beans
- 2 eggs
- 2/3 cup pico de gallo
- 1/2 avocado sliced
- Fresh cilantro for serving
- Hot sauce for serving
- Lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and sweet potatoes. Season with salt, pepper, and chili powder. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions start to caramelize, and the sweet potatoes soften, about 10-15 minutes. (Alternatively, roast the mixture in a 400°F oven until tender, about 20 minutes). Divide mixture into two bowls.
- Heat the pinto beans using the same skillet. Divide into two bowls on the side of the sweet potatoes mixture.
- Wipe down the same skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat, and cook two eggs sunny side up. (Alternatively, you could scramble, poach or cook the eggs over easy). Top each bowl with one egg.
- Top the breakfast bowls with pico de gallo, avocado slices, and fresh cilantro. Add hot sauce, and squeeze lime juice on top, if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last about 2-3 days in the fridge. To re-heat, microwave the bowls for 30-45 seconds until warmed through.
Substitutes: For best results, follow the recipe as is. However here are some common substitutes that would work well in this recipe.
- Instead of sweet potatoes, you can use regular potatoes or other vegetables like carrots, parsnips, cauliflower or squash.
- Instead of pinto beans, you can use black beans, kidney beans or white beans.
