Black Bean Breakfast Bowl Recipe

Great textures, combination of items and taste. My daughter especially liked it, as she is into all food that is Mexican or Southwestern. Saw that some on here have mentioned that this recipes is full of carbs. It does have lots of carbs, but they are healthy ones. This recipe contains healthy, complex carbohydrates like beans and avocados, which we all need to have healthy, balanced diets and that provide energy; we should avoid simple carbs, like pretzels, white bread, donuts, lots of types of candies, pies, etc. are the types that turn to pure sugar once eaten and cause weight gain. It is never healthy to completely avoid ALL carbs, just the ones that cause weight gain or can be unhealthful for those with various diseases like diabetes. It is never healthy to avoid any one food group; just make sure you are eating the right type.

I seasoned the beans with green onion, cilantro, garlic, onion powder and pepper; and cooked them on the stove top. My daughter and I love black beans and really liked this for breakfast. It was filling and left us satisfied well into our busy day! Thanks for sharing!

The idea sounds good, but I knew that black beans straight from the can won't have much flavor. So, I went ahead and sauteed some minced onions and garlic and half jalapeno pepper in some olive oil, added the beans and seasoned with some salt, pepper, cumin and some chopped cilantro. I also sprinkled some roasted Pepita seeds over the dish before serving. I served this and a Chia seed pudding for our weekend breakfast and my family loved it!

Great recipe! I had to make some alterations: I used a 3-bean blend (that's all u had on hand). As some viewers suggested, I added cilantro to my eggs; used avocado that my husband put on the grill! Yum! Added shredded cheese to top it all off. Thanks for sharing!!

Was looking for something different and this fit the bill. Did not have any avocado, so broiled some sliced tomatillo, which added to the flavor and cut down on calories.

Quick, delicious base. I used it to mimic the breakfast bowl at Peoples Organic in Minneapolis. I added a bit of spice to the sweet potatoes and put down a thin layer of wilted spinach. Thanks for the ease of this recipe.

I agree with other reviews that suggest adding more flavor to the beans. I heated mine up in a pan with a bit of oil, salt and pepper, fresh cilantro, parsley, onion, tomatoes, and added a bit of crumbled cheese at the end. I, also, kept my avocado separate and topped it with a bit of salt and some lime juice. Overall, this is an easy to make meal and allows for a lot of variation, if desired.

I added - 1/2 pack of bacon (diced and cooked with a little water). Then I added black beans to the cooked bacon to warm the beans up at low heat for 5 min. I cooked 5 eggs with a splash of tabasco, salt, pepper and onion powder. I topped each plate with green onions, tomato, cilantro and jalapeño & served. Yummy!

Have made this several times and I LOVE it! Added a few Tbsps of chopped green pepper and onion to the oiled pan before scrambling the egg, then followed the instructions completely. A wonderful breakfast or lunch. The taste and textures are super!

This is DELICIOUS! Not to mention a snap to prepare, healthy, and the whole family loves it. I could actually eat this every day. The addition of a half tsp. or so of cumin to the black beans, and a sprinkle of cilantro at the end is the perfect touch to an excellent recipe... great combination of flavours!!!

only three points on weight watchers. This came out good. very versatile. it did fill me up for quite a bit of time before another meal. I would recommend using Goya beans because they don't fall apart and they taste the best. And I would also recommend using a firm avocado instead of a mushy one or one that's starting to turn brown. very weight watchers friendly. I used fresh cut salsa instead of canned or jarred to cut down on sodium and to enhance the fresh flavors. .

i followed someone suggestion of adding cilantro and cumin to beans . it made a big difference. husband loved it. i'll be making this lots of times

Definitely don’t skip the salt & pepper step. It was very good.

Made it twice already — total win.

Perfect meal while on chemo. Thanks

Needs some spices

Simple, quick, satisfying! Didn’t change a thing.

Loved it

We loved it at our house. I just doctored the beans a bit. I cooked them without draining and rinsing and drained before plating. Great recipe for supper.

Replaced the egg with Scrambled Tofu from this site which is an excellent recipe, try it out! My only real critique of this recipe is that adding the black beans is adding carbs.
