Black Bean and Egg Bake

Prep Time: 5 mins

Cook Time: 25 mins

Total Time: 30 mins

Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves, chopped
• 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 (14 1/2-ounce) can petite diced tomatoes (undrained)
• 1 (4-ounce) can chopped green chiles
• 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
• 4 large eggs
• 1/4 cup crumbled cotija cheese, for garnish
• 1 tablespoon fresh chopped cilantro, for garnish
• 8 taco-size corn or flour tortillas, warmed, for serving

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.

2. Sauté the onion and garlic:

   Heat the oil and garlic to a medium (10-inch) skillet over medium heat. When the garlic begins to bubble around the edges, add the onion. Sauté until the onion is softened and just starts to take on a golden color, 7 to 9 minutes.

3. Make the bean chili:

   Add the tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, and salt, and sauté until the spices are fragrant and toasty, 1 minute. Add the diced tomatoes, green chiles, and black beans. Stir to combine.

4. Add the eggs:

   Bring the mixture up to a simmer, then crack the eggs, adding them to the skillet one at a time in a single layer. After you crack in each egg, use a wooden spoon to gently nestle it down into the sauce.

5. Bake:

   Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake, uncovered, until the egg whites are just set and the yolks are still liquid, 15 to 20 minutes. The whites will be jiggly but no longer translucent. If you prefer your yolks more cooked through, bake for a few more minutes.

   Remove from the oven and then sprinkle on the cheese and cilantro. Spoon the eggs and beans onto plates or into bowls and serve right away with warmed tortillas.
