Huevos con frijoles (Eggs with beans)

Ingredients
Instructions
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until they are translucent.
Stir in the chopped tomato, cooked beans, chili pepper, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the mixture is heated thoroughly. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
Add the beaten eggs and scramble them.
Spoon the bean mixture onto the plate. Serve immediately.
Notes
Garnish with chopped cilantro and crumbled queso fresco. Add slices of avocado or a dollop of guacamole and salsa if desired.
The eggs can be scrambled with the other ingredients. Alternatively, heat more oil over medium heat in a separate skillet, crack the eggs into the skillet and cook to your preference (fried, scrambled, or sunny-side up).
The popular huevos rancheros are a version of this recipe, with fried eggs served over the beans and other ingredients on a warm tortilla.
The beans can be heated and added to the salsa or the scramble eggs, or served on the side, as you like it.
Variations
Substitute the chopped chili pepper with a little chili powder.
You can use pinto beans instead of black beans for a different taste and texture.
For a lighter version, egg whites (scrambled) can be used instead of whole eggs.
