Wake up to something wonderful with this Tex-Mex breakfast treat. Ready in just 25 minutes, each serving contains tender eggs and spicy beans topped with fresh tomatoes, green onion, cheese and cilantro. Each bite will warm you from the inside out and fill your senses with the flavors of the Southwest. Lime, cumin and jalapeño bring layers of flavor to the beans and play well against the melted cheese. Have your eggs the way you like, over easy, soft boiled, sunny side up, poached or scrambled. Even a chopped hard boiled egg works well here. Add more veggie to the dish by adding some peppery arugula under the beans or some wilted spinach. Serve these eggs with a refreshing side of sliced mango or papaya sprinkled with lime juice and sliced mint leaves.
