- 1 (15 1/2-oz.) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup no-sugar-added prepared salsa
- 4 large eggs
- 3 egg whites
- 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
- 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp. margarine
- 1 avocado, thinly sliced
Makes 4 Servings
- In a small saucepan, combine the beans and 1/2 cup of the salsa. Warm over very low heat while you cook the eggs.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole eggs, egg whites, cumin, and pepper. In a medium skillet, heat the oil and margarine over medium heat. Add the mixture and cook, without stirring, for 1 minute. Lift the edges and let the uncooked egg run underneath. Cook, stirring, until the eggs are set but still moist, 2-3 minutes longer.
- For each serving, place one-fourth of the beans (scant 1/2 cup) and one-fourth of the eggs in a shallow soup bowl. Top each portion with 2 tablespoons of the remaining salsa and one-fourth of the avocado.
