Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained

1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes

1 bell pepper (red or yellow), diced

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon chili powder

4 large eggs

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro or parsley, for garnish

Avocado slices (optional)

Instructions
 

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, sautéing for about 3-4 minutes until they soften.

    Add the minced garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, and chili powder. Stir for another minute until fragrant.

      Pour in the diced tomatoes and black beans, stirring well to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the mixture simmer for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the chili to thicken slightly.

        Using the back of a spoon, create four small wells in the chili mixture. Crack an egg into each well.

          Cover the skillet with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but yolks remain soft. (Cook longer if you prefer firmer yolks.)

            Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley. Add slices of avocado on the side, if desired.

                - Presentation Tips: Serve directly from the skillet for a rustic touch, or plate each serving separately with a sprinkle of herbs and a few avocado slices on top for added color and texture. Enjoy with warm tortillas or crusty bread on the side!
