1 cup cooked rice optional but adds heartiness that makes the bowl even more filling

Toppings (various, as desired) customize with cheese, avocado, or hot sauce to suit your taste

Begin by cracking the 4 large eggs into a bowl and whisking them lightly. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat for about 2 minutes. Pour in the eggs and let them cook undisturbed for about 1 minute until they start to set. Gently scramble using a spatula for another 3–4 minutes until the eggs are fluffy and fully cooked, then remove from heat.
In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of black beans, ½ cup of salsa, 1 tablespoon of cumin, 1 teaspoon of cilantro, and 1 teaspoon of lime juice. Stir the ingredients together until evenly mixed. Allow this zesty mixture to sit for about 5 minutes, letting the flavors meld.
If you choose to add rice for an extra hearty base, take a separate pot and heat 1 cup of cooked rice over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once heated through, remove the pot from the stove and set the rice aside.
In each serving bowl, start by layering the scrambled eggs generously at the bottom. Next, spoon the black bean mixture over the eggs. If using rice, add a layer on top of the beans.
Finally, customize your Southwest Breakfast Burrito Bowl with various toppings. Serve the bowls immediately while warm.

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge. If freezing, portion out the bowl without toppings for up to 1 month.
