Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces Mexican-style chorizo, casing removed
  • 4 large eggs, preferably at room temperature
  • 2 cups cooked white or brown rice, cooled (can substitute cauliflower rice for low-carb)
  • 1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup diced red or yellow bell peppers
  • ½ medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup shredded sharp cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese (or dairy-free cheese alternative)
  • A handful fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced or diced
  • 12 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook 2 cups (400 g) of rice according to package instructions, about 15-20 minutes. Fluff with a fork and set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chorizo, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook 5-7 minutes until browned and crispy on edges. Remove with slotted spoon and set aside, leaving rendered fat in pan.
  3. In the same pan, add chopped onion and bell peppers. Cook 4-5 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Stir in black beans, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook 2-3 minutes until heated through and fragrant.
  5. In a bowl, whisk eggs with salt and pepper. Lower heat to medium-low. Pour eggs into pan and gently stir, folding until just set but still soft and creamy, about 3-4 minutes.
  6. Assemble bowls by layering cooked rice, then topping with chorizo, sautéed veggies and beans, and scrambled eggs. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top to melt slightly.
  7. Garnish with chopped cilantro, a squeeze of lime juice, and avocado slices. Optionally add salsa or hot sauce for extra heat.

Notes

Cook eggs low and slow on medium-low heat to keep them creamy. Let chorizo sit undisturbed for crispy edges. Use day-old or cooled rice to prevent mushiness. Adjust spice level by reducing chorizo or smoked paprika. For dairy-free, omit cheese or use plant-based alternative.
