1 Can

(14-16- oz) Black Beans, drained

  

Juice of 1 Lime

¼ tsp

Cumin

  

Hot Sauce

8

Eggs

  

Salt & Black Pepper to Taste

½ Cup

Feta Cheese, plus more for serving

  

Pico de Gallo or bottled Salsa

  

Sliced Avocado (optional)


 

  • Pulse the black beans, Lime juice, cumin & a few shakes of hot sauce in a food processor until it has the consistency of refried beans, adding a bit of water to help if necessary.
  • Coat a small nonstick pan with nonstick cooking spray or a bit of butter or olive oil & heat over medium heat. Crack two eggs into a bowl & beat with a bit of salt & pepper. Add the eggs to the pan, then use a spatula to stir & then lift the cooked egg on the bottom to allow raw egg to slide under. When the eggs have all but set, spoon a quarter of the black bean mixture & 2 Tbsp feta down the middle of the omelet. Use the spatula to fold over a third of the egg to cover the mixture in the center, then carefully slide the omelet onto a plate, usijng the spatula flip it over at the last second to form one fully rolled omelet.
  • Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make four omelets. Garnish with Pico de Gallo, avocado slices if you like & a bit more crumbled feta.
