Ingredients
  

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 medium onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 bell pepper (any color), diced

1 jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional, for heat)

1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained

1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained

1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, rinsed and drained

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

4 large eggs

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Avocado slices (for serving)

Shredded cheese (optional, for serving)

Instructions
 

Sauté the base: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onions are translucent.

    Add veggies: Stir in the diced bell pepper and jalapeño (if using). Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.

      Mix in beans and spices: Add the diced tomatoes (with their juice), black beans, kidney beans, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

        Simmer: Lower the heat and let the chili simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and slightly thickened.

          Cook the eggs: While the chili is simmering, use a spoon to create four small wells in the chili mixture. Crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the eggs cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. (Cook longer if you prefer firmer yolks.)

            Serve: Once the eggs are cooked to your preference, remove from heat. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with avocado slices and shredded cheese if desired.

              Enjoy: Spoon the chili and eggs into bowls and enjoy your hearty breakfast!
