Black Bean Omelette
INGREDIENTS:
1 can (14–16oz) black beans, drained
Juice of 1 lime
1⁄4 tsp cumin
Hot sauce
8 eggs
Salt and black pepper to taste
1⁄2 cup feta cheese, plus more for serving
Pico de Gallo or bottled salsa
Sliced avocado (optional)
HOW TO MAKE IT:
- Pulse the black beans, lime juice, cumin, and a few shakes of hot sauce in a food processor until it has the consistency of refried beans, adding a bit of water to help if necessary.
- Coat a small nonstick pan with nonstick cooking spray or a bit of butter or olive oil and heat over medium heat.
- Crack two eggs into a bowl and beat with a bit of salt and pepper.
- Add the eggs to the pan, then use a spatula to stir and then lift the cooked egg on the bottom to allow raw egg to slide under.
- When the eggs have all but set, spoon a quarter of the black bean mixture and 2 tablespoons feta down the middle of the omelet.
- Use the spatula to fold over a third of the egg to cover the mixture in the center, then carefully slide the omelet onto a plate, using the spatula flip it over at the last second to form one fully rolled omelet.
- Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make four omelets. Garnish with pico de gallo, avocado slices if you like, and bit more crumbled feta.
