PRO TIPS

What to keep in mind.

6 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.

1
Cut potatoes into uniform 1 cm cubes so they roast evenly.
2
Spread potatoes cut-side down on the baking sheet for maximum crunch.
3
Warm the black beans with cumin just until heated; don't boil or they'll mush.
4
Remove scrambled eggs from heat while still slightly glossy — carryover cooking finishes them.
5
Make pico de gallo first so the flavors meld while you prep other components.
6
Store components separately in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat and assemble fresh.

RECIPE VARIATIONS

Adapt it for your goals.

high protein

High-protein

Swap the black beans for seasoned ground turkey or chorizo, and add a dollop of Greek yogurt on top for extra protein without losing the Tex-Mex vibe.

vegan

Vegan

Replace eggs with crumbled firm tofu seasoned with turmeric and kala namak for an eggy flavor, use a plant-based sour cream, and keep the rest plant-based.

low carb / keto

Low-carb / keto

Skip the potatoes entirely and double the eggs plus add extra avocado; replace beans with sautéed bell peppers and onions to keep it low-carb and satisfying.
