Ingredients
  

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 bell pepper (red or yellow), diced

1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed

1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, drained and rinsed

1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes (with juice)

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin

½ teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

4 large eggs

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Avocado slices (for serving)

Crumbled feta or cheese of choice (optional)

Instructions
 

Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, sautéing for about 5 minutes until soft. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

    Add the Beans and Tomatoes: Stir in the black beans, kidney beans, and diced tomatoes (with their juice). Mix well to combine the ingredients.

      Season the Mixture: Sprinkle in the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until the spices are evenly distributed. Let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. If it gets too thick, add a splash of water to reach your desired consistency.

        Cook the Eggs: Create four small wells in the chili mixture and crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook on low heat for about 5-7 minutes or until the eggs are cooked to your liking (softly set with runny yolks or fully cooked).

          Garnish and Serve: Once the eggs are cooked, remove the skillet from heat. Garnish the chili with fresh cilantro and serve with slices of avocado and crumbled cheese, if desired.

            Enjoy: Serve your Spicy Breakfast Chili & Eggs hot, either in bowls or on plates, and dig in!
