Ingredients
  

  • 1 14-ounce can black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 2 tablespoons salsa plus more for garnish
  • 1 cup bell peppers chopped
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 cup plain unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Sea Salt and Black Pepper
  • 1 cup arugula or greens
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes chopped

Instructions
 

  • Heat the Beans: in a small saucepan, add the drained and rinsed black beans, bell pepper, salsa, and chili powder. Mix well and simmer over very low heat.
  • Make the Eggs: crack eggs in a bowl and whisk with milk and paprika until well combined. Pour egg mixture into a non-stick pan, and heat over low heat. Cook for 6 to 7 minutes until the egg begins to firm and brown around the edges of the pan. Flip with a spatula and cook 2 to 3 minutes on the opposite side.
  • Build your Omelette: divide the eggs into 2 portions. To each, top with black bean mixture and fold the egg mixture over. Add arugula and fresh tomatoes to each omelette, salsa for garnish, and salt and pepper to taste.  Enjoy!
