Ingredients
Scale
Chili Base
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bell pepper, chopped
- 1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes
- 1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Eggs and Garnishes
- 4 large eggs
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional for garnish)
- Avocado slices (optional for serving)
- Hot sauce (optional for serving)
Instructions
- Sauté Aromatics: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Cook Bell Pepper: Add the chopped bell pepper to the skillet and cook for another 3-4 minutes until softened.
- Add Beans and Spices: Stir in the diced tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
- Simmer Chili: Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Create Wells and Add Eggs: Using a spoon, make four small wells in the chili mixture. Gently crack an egg into each well.
- Cook Eggs: Cover the skillet and cook the eggs until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny, approximately 5-7 minutes. Adjust time as needed for preferred doneness.
- Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with chopped cilantro, and serve with avocado slices and hot sauce if desired.
Notes
- You can substitute kidney and black beans with any beans of your preference.
- For a spicier kick, add cayenne pepper or increase the chili powder.
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the eggs from sticking.
- For fully cooked yolks, increase the cooking time by a few minutes.
- Avocado and cilantro add freshness but are optional.
