Ingredients

  • 1 lb chorizo sausage
  • 2 cups cooked black beans
  • 1 cup diced red bell pepper
  • 1 cup diced green bell pepper
  • 1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 8 large eggs
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 avocados, sliced
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 lime, juiced

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, cook the chorizo sausage over medium heat until browned and cooked through, breaking it into smaller pieces as it cooks. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  2. Drain any excess fat from the pan, then add the diced red and green bell peppers to the same skillet. Cook for 3 4 minutes or until softened.
  3. Stir in the cooked black beans and cooked chorizo sausage. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs until well combined. Pour the eggs over the chorizo and bean mixture in the skillet. Cook without stirring over medium low heat for 5 minutes or until the eggs are almost set but still slightly runny in the middle.
  5. Sprinkle the grated sharp cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the eggs. Cover the skillet and let it sit for 1 2 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted.
  6. In a small bowl, mix together sour cream and lime juice.
  7. To serve, garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and avocado slices. Serve with a side of the lime infused sour cream for added zest.
