Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion chopped
  • 2 large sweet potatoes diced into 1/2" cubes
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 15 ounces black beans canned, drained and rinsed
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheese
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 1 avocado sliced

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients

  • Start by washing and peeling your sweet potatoes. Dice them into 1/2-inch cubes for even cooking. Chop your yellow onion and red bell pepper. Drain and rinse the black beans, and slice the avocado for topping later.

Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables

  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent. Next, add the diced sweet potatoes and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.

Step 3: Add the Bell Pepper and Black Beans

  • Once the sweet potatoes are tender, add the diced red bell pepper and black beans to the skillet. Stir everything together and let it cook for another 5-7 minutes until the bell pepper is softened and everything is heated through.

Step 4: Create Wells for the Eggs

  • Using a spatula, create four small wells in the hash mixture. Crack an egg into each well, being careful not to break the yolk. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your liking. If you prefer your eggs firmer, you can cook them a bit longer.

Step 5: Add Cheese and Salsa

  • Once the eggs are almost done, sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the hash. Allow it to melt for about 1-2 minutes. Drizzle the salsa over the entire dish, adding a fresh punch of flavor.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

  • Remove the skillet from heat and carefully transfer the Tex-Mex Breakfast Hash to plates. Top each serving with sliced avocado for that creamy texture. Enjoy your delicious creation warm!

Notes

  • For an extra kick, add diced jalapeños or a sprinkle of chili powder to the hash.
  • Adjust egg cooking time to suit your preferred yolk consistency, from runny to firm.
  • This dish is great for meal prep; store the hash in the fridge up to 3 days and reheat before adding eggs.
