  • 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 green bell pepper, diced

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add diced sweet potato and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp.
  3. Add diced red and green bell peppers and red onion to the skillet. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until vegetables are softened.
  4. Stir in chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Add black beans to the skillet and stir to combine. Heat through for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Make two wells in the skillet and crack an egg into each well.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or some diced jalapeño with the other vegetables.
  • If you prefer your sweet potatoes softer, start them cooking a few minutes earlier.
  • This skillet is versatile; feel free to add other vegetables like corn or spinach.
