Ingredients

  • Delicious Sweet Potatoes:
  • Diced sweet potatoes, about 2 in quantity, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • A drizzle of olive oil, precisely 1 tablespoon
  • Sprinkle of ground cumin, about ½ teaspoon
  • Pinch of salt, around ½ teaspoon
  • Hearty Beans:
  • Ready-to-use black beans in a 15.5-ounce can, with its natural liquid
  • Dash of ground cumin, approximately ½ teaspoon
  • Hint of salt, roughly ½ teaspoon
  • Touch of garlic powder, about ¼ teaspoon
  • Mexican Chorizo:
  • Fresh Mexican chorizo sausage, approximately 1 pound, casing removed
  • Dollop of butter, use as needed (Optional)
  • Accompaniments:
  • 4 farm-fresh eggs
  • 2 ripe avocados, peeled, pitted, and sliced

Step 1

Begin by preheating your oven to a toasty 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, toss together the sweet potatoes, a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of cumin, and a pinch of salt until everything is nicely coated. Spread this colorful mix evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

Pop the baking sheet into the preheated oven and let the sweet potatoes roast away, giving them a gentle stir after 10 minutes. Let them cook until they are beautifully browned and tender, which should take about 18 to 20 minutes in total.

Step 4

While the sweet potatoes are getting all caramelized and delicious, heat up a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Combine the black beans, a hint of cumin, a pinch of salt, and a dash of garlic powder in the saucepan. Warm them through for 8 to 10 minutes, keeping them nice and cozy until you're ready to serve.

Step 5

Now, let's turn our attention to the chorizo. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the chorizo until it's nicely browned, breaking up any big chunks as you go. This should take about 5 to 6 minutes. Once it's cooked, transfer the chorizo to a paper towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon. Leave about a tablespoon of that flavorful grease in the skillet, adding a pat of butter if needed.

Step 6

Crack your eggs into the skillet and let them sizzle away until the whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your liking, about 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 7

To assemble your bowls of goodness, divide the roasted sweet potatoes, the warmed black beans, the savory chorizo, and creamy avocados among 4 bowls. Finish each bowl with a beautifully cooked egg on top. Enjoy your colorful and flavorful creation!
