Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the diced potatoes, bell peppers, and onion to the skillet. Sauté the vegetables until they turn tender and the potatoes obtain a beautiful golden-brown hue. This should take about 10 minutes.
- Stir in the black beans and continue to cook until they're heated through, which should take about 5 minutes. Keep the mixture warm.
- In a separate skillet, cook the eggs to your desired level of doneness. For a traditional sunny-side-up, crack the egg into the skillet and cook until the white is set but the yolk is still runny.
- Now, it's time to assemble the bowls. Divide the vegetable and bean mixture evenly between two molcajetes.
- Top each molcajete with two cooked eggs. Add a generous amount of sliced avocado, salsa, and a sprinkle of shredded cheese. Finish off with a sprinkle of cilantro for a fresh contrast.
- Serve the Molcajete Morning Fiesta Bowls immediately while they're still hot. Enjoy the blend of flavors and textures, from the creamy avocado to the zesty salsa and the hearty beans.
Tips
- For a vegetarian version, you can swap out the eggs for a tofu scramble.
- You can add additional toppings like sour cream, jalapenos, or hot sauce according to your taste preference.
- If Molcajetes are not available, serving in regular bowls works just fine too.
