Description

A hearty and nutritious breakfast hash made with sweet potatoes, eggs, and black beans.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium–large sweet potatoes, cut into ½-inch cubes
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • ½ red onion, small diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 jalapeño, diced
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 23 garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 cup black beans, rinsed and pre-cooked
  • 4 large eggs
  • ⅓ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet (10–12 inches).
  2. Add onion, bell pepper, and jalapeño. Sauté until onions begin to turn translucent.
  3. Stir in sweet potatoes, cumin, garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat.
  4. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring regularly, until sweet potatoes are fork-tender and lightly browned on the edges.
  5. Add black beans and gently stir to combine.
  6. Create 4 small wells in the mixture and crack an egg into each well.
  7. Cover the skillet and cook until eggs reach your desired doneness.
  8. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and serve as-is or tucked into warm tortillas as breakfast tacos.

Notes

  • Shortcut option: Cook eggs separately to save ~5 minutes.
  • Crispy potatoes tip: Stir every 1–2 minutes to prevent sticking while still getting golden edges.
  • Leftovers: Store in the fridge up to 5 days.
  • Reheat: Microwave ~1½ minutes, Oven: 350°F for ~10 minutes, Air fryer: 350°F for 5–7 minutes.
