A quick and easy breakfast bowl combining smoky chipotle, creamy avocado, fluffy scrambled eggs, black beans, and rice for a flavorful and satisfying morning meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cooked long-grain white rice (or brown rice for extra fiber)
  • 1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons milk (any kind; dairy-free if needed)
  • Salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon chipotle powder or 1 tablespoon chipotle in adobo sauce, finely chopped
  • Juice of half a lime
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced or diced
  • Fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
  • 1 small tomato, diced
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese (optional)
  • Hot sauce, for extra kick (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse 1 cup of long-grain white rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Transfer to a saucepan with 2 cups (480 ml) of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it rest, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
  2. While the rice cooks, mix 2 tablespoons mayonnaise or Greek yogurt with 1 teaspoon chipotle powder (or 1 tablespoon chopped chipotle in adobo), and juice of half a lime in a small bowl. Stir until smooth and refrigerate until serving.
  3. In a small saucepan, warm 1 cup of rinsed black beans over low heat until heated through. Add a pinch of cumin or smoked paprika if desired.
  4. Crack 4 large eggs into a bowl, add 2 tablespoons milk, and whisk until combined. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little oil or butter. Pour in eggs and let sit undisturbed for 15 seconds, then gently fold with a spatula, cooking until softly set but still moist—about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Assemble the bowl by starting with a base of warm rice, then layer black beans and scrambled eggs. Drizzle with the creamy chipotle sauce, then top with diced avocado, fresh tomato, chopped cilantro, and shredded cheese if using. Add a splash of your favorite hot sauce if desired.

Notes

Do not overcook the eggs; they should remain tender and creamy. Lime juice brightens the chipotle sauce flavor. If sauce is too thick, thin with a teaspoon of water or more lime juice. For vegan option, substitute scrambled eggs with tofu and use vegan mayo. Toast rice with a little oil before cooking for nuttier flavor. Heat beans gently to avoid drying out.
