Total time: 15 min • Prep: 10 min • Cook: 5 min • Serves: 1 • Difficulty: Easy

For those who prefer savory breakfast to sweet, this classic Central American plate of hearty goodness is hard to beat. It combines scrambled eggs (you can cook them sunny-side up, if you prefer), a warm corn tortilla, smoky mashed black beans, and fresh vegetable accompaniments. The recipe makes one plate but is easy to scale up to serve more people.

In a small microwave-safe bowl, mash the beans with a fork to your desired consistency; stir in the paprika. Cover and microwave on High until thoroughly heated, 45 seconds to 1 minute.
