Tips
- Cook the eggs gently: Medium-low heat keeps the eggs soft and fluffy instead of dry.
- Add tortilla strips last: Add the tortilla strips right before serving so they stay crunchy.
- Use ripe avocado: A ripe avocado gives the bowl the best creamy texture and balances the salsa.
Substitutions
- Add more protein: Add turkey sausage, chicken sausage, turkey bacon, or extra egg whites if you want the bowl more filling.
- Swap the beans: Pinto beans, refried beans, or seasoned lentils can work instead of black beans.
- Make it low-carb: Skip the tortilla strips and use extra eggs, avocado, or sautéed peppers instead.
Storage
Refrigerator
Store the cooked eggs and beans in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Best texture: Store avocado, salsa, yogurt, and tortilla strips separately and add them after reheating. Reheating: Reheat eggs and beans gently in the microwave or skillet, then add the cold toppings before serving.
