And we can’t forget about the spice. Threw in some Serrano pepper, and chili powder. Cause it’s not very Southwestern-y without some spice.
That would be blasphemy, and we cannot have that!

Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp Canola Oil
- 1 Large Sweet Potato, peeled and cubed
- 1 Can Pinto Beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 Serrano Pepper, sliced
- 2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 1/2 tsp Chili Powder
- Kosher Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 6 Eggs
- 1 Large Tomato, diced
- 1/2 Red Onion, diced
- 1 C Fresh Cilantro, chopped and loosely packed
- 1 C Avocado, diced
- 3/4 C Queso Fresco
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, boil about 1-2 inches of water. Add the sweet potato and continue boiling for about 5 minutes, or until the sweet potato just softens. Drain well.
- While the potato boils, mix together the tomato, onion, and cilantro in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- In a large frying pan, heat the canola oil over medium, medium-high heat. Add the sweet potato and cook until they are mostly browned, around 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, Add the pinto beans, Serrano pepper, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper and stir gently until combined and the pinto beans are heated through. Remove from heat.
- Grease a large skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-low. Whisk the eggs briskly, then add to the skillet and allow to sit until the bottom just sets. Gently stir the eggs with a spatula until completely scrambled, around 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
- Spoon the potato and bean mixture into four bowls, then add the eggs. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, as needed, then top with the pico de gallo, avocado, and Queso Fresco. Serve immediately.
