Loved it
We loved it at our house. I just doctored the beans a bit. I cooked them without draining and rinsing and drained before plating. Great recipe for supper.
Replaced the egg with Scrambled Tofu from this site which is an excellent recipe, try it out! My only real critique of this recipe is that adding the black beans is adding carbs.
I liked it, not to heavy yet it filled me up. I had to make my own salsa and I botched that by adding a can of crushed tomatoes. So prep was a few minutes longer and i have a huge bowl of spaghetti flavored salsa now too!
This is really yummy! Although, I might have made too much for one person.
Honestly not very good. No flavor in the beans, and there are better recipes. I would rather have breakfast quesadillas.
Great breakfast. Will definitely be making this again
So simple, so filling, so delicious. We loved it!
only three points on weight watchers. This came out good. very versatile. it did fill me up for quite a bit of time before another meal. I would recommend using Goya beans because they don’t fall apart and they taste the best. And I would also recommend using a firm avocado instead of a mushy one or one that’s starting to turn brown. very weight watchers friendly. I used fresh cut salsa instead of canned or jarred to cut down on sodium and to enhance the fresh flavors. .
Genius idea! Very filling! Definite lifetime keeper recipe. Thanks Matt D. for sharing your recipe.
Great breakfast for the family! Quick and easy too maybe 10 minutes to make. I only needed one can of beans for my family of three and scrambled six eggs. It was just the right amount and filling too!
I agree with other reviews that suggest adding more flavor to the beans. I heated mine up in a pan with a bit of oil, salt and pepper, fresh cilantro, parsley, onion, tomatoes, and added a bit of crumbled cheese at the end. I, also, kept my avocado separate and topped it with a bit of salt and some lime juice. Overall, this is an easy to make meal and allows for a lot of variation, if desired.
This is good as written. With the addition of onion salt, pepper, cumin, and cilantro in the beans, and a little bit of pork on top, it is fantastic!

I loved this! I added some fake meat for extra protein, and some potatoes. Highly recommend!
We enjoyed it.
This was delicious! Very quick, simple and healthful breakfast.
Quick, delicious base. I used it to mimic the breakfast bowl at Peoples Organic in Minneapolis. I added a bit of spice to the sweet potatoes and put down a thin layer of wilted spinach. Thanks for the ease of this recipe.
The idea sounds good, but I knew that black beans straight from the can won’t have much flavor. So, I went ahead and sauteed some minced onions and garlic and half jalapeno pepper in some olive oil, added the beans and seasoned with some salt, pepper, cumin and some chopped cilantro. I also sprinkled some roasted Pepita seeds over the dish before serving. I served this and a Chia seed pudding for our weekend breakfast and my family loved it!
This just hit different. I’m a poor college student right now, so this recipe was good to eat, easy to make, and cheap to buy ingredients for. This will be the reason i continue to support the black bean industry
As is very good, but good chance to add your own touch . I will make this more often – good option for a light flavorful breakfast
