Black Beans, Rice & Fried Egg

(2)

Using leftover cooked brown rice is a great and easy way to get breakfast on the table fast. To keep things quick, we use canned beans and baby spinach, which don't require any advance prep. A drizzle of hot sauce brings everything together.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

  • ½ cup cooked brown rice

  • ½ cup canned no-salt-added black beans, rinsed

  • 1 clove garlic, sliced

  • 2 cups baby spinach

  • teaspoon kosher salt, divided

  • teaspoon cracked black pepper, divided

  • ¼ cup halved cherry tomatoes

  • ½ teaspoon lime juice

  • 1 large egg

  • ½ teaspoon hot sauce

Directions

  1. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add rice, beans and garlic; cook, stirring often, until warm and the garlic is lightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Stir in spinach and a pinch each salt and pepper; cook, stirring, until the spinach is wilted, about 1 minute. Transfer to a small bowl. Stir in tomatoes and lime juice until combined.

  2. Heat the remaining 1/2 teaspoon oil in the same skillet over medium heat; crack egg into the skillet and season with the remaining pinch each salt and pepper. Cook until the white is set and the edges are crisp, about 3 minutes. Place the egg on top of the black bean mixture. Drizzle with hot sauce.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
