* % Daily Value shows how much one serving adds to a 2,000-calorie day. † Net carbs is not on US labels; it is total carbs minus fiber, allulose, erythritol and half of other sugar alcohols. "To taste" amounts are counted as written. Counted items (eggs, cloves, spoons) use the rounded amount shown in the ingredient list. Vitamins and minerals are from raw ingredients; cooking lowers some, especially vitamin C and folate. How this is calculated.
Steps
Drain and rinse the beans. Slice the avocado. Squeeze the lime juice over the avocado.
Heat half the oil in the pan on medium. Add the beans, cumin and 2 tablespoons of water. Cook 3 minutes, mashing a few beans with the spatula.
Done looks like: Beans hot and saucy, with some broken up. Spoon the beans into a bowl. Wipe the pan.
Heat the rest of the oil on medium. Crack in the eggs. Sprinkle with salt. Cook 2–3 minutes.
Done looks like: Whites set and white around the edges, lifting from the pan. Flip each egg. Cook 1–2 minutes more.
Done looks like: Yolk firm when pressed with the spatula. Lay the eggs on the beans. Top with salsa, avocado and cilantro.
Equipment
Non-stick frying pan, 26 cm (10 in) $20–45
What to look for
- Flat, heavy base that does not wobble on the stove
- Oven-safe handle is a bonus, not required
- Works on your stove type (induction needs a magnetic base)
Skip: Sets of 10 pieces. You will use two of them.
Silicone spatula $5–12
What to look for
- One-piece (no seam where the head meets the handle)
- Stiff enough to scrape, safe on non-stick
Skip: Wooden spatulas for non-stick pans; they work but do not scrape as cleanly.
Chef's knife, 20 cm (8 in) $15–50
What to look for
- Comfortable handle that does not slip when wet
- Blade you can sharpen, or a cheap one you replace every few years
Skip: Knife blocks with 12 knives. A chef's knife and a small paring knife cover almost everything.
Cutting board $10–30
What to look for
- At least 30 × 40 cm (12 × 16 in), so food stays on it
- Wood or plastic; plastic goes in the dishwasher
Skip: Glass or stone boards. They dull knives fast.
What goes wrong
| What | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Yolk breaks when flipping | Flipped before the white set, or flipped too fast. | Wait until the whites are firm at the edges. Slide the spatula fully under before turning. |
| Dry, pasty beans | Water cooked off. | Add another tablespoon of water and stir. |

Notes
Allergies: removing an allergen from the recipe does not remove it from your kitchen or from other products. Check labels for "may contain" warnings.
Pregnancy: Cook until the yolks are firm.
