Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 bell pepper (red or green), diced

1 jalapeño, minced (optional for extra heat)

1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes, with juices

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

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

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon chili powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

4 large eggs

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Avocado, sliced (for serving)

Crusty bread or tortillas (for serving)

Instructions

Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Sauté Veggies: Add the diced onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.

Add Heat: Stir in the minced jalapeño (if using) and cook for an additional minute.

Combine Ingredients: Add the diced tomatoes (with juices), black beans, kidney beans, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Cook the Eggs: Using a spoon, make four small wells in the chili mixture. Crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain runny (or cook longer for harder yolks).

Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh cilantro. Serve hot, alongside sliced avocado and crusty bread or warm tortillas for dipping.
