Ingredients
  

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes

1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed to remove excess sodium

1 red bell pepper, diced into bite-sized pieces

1 green bell pepper, diced into bite-sized pieces

1 small red onion, diced finely

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon ground cumin for a warm flavor

1 teaspoon smoked paprika for a touch of smokiness

1/2 teaspoon chili powder (adjust to taste for spiciness)

2 tablespoons olive oil for cooking

Salt and black pepper, to taste for seasoning

4 large eggs (optional for extra protein)

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Sliced avocado (for a creamy finish)

Instructions
 

Prep Sweet Potatoes: Start by peeling the sweet potatoes. Dice them into 1/2-inch cubes for even cooking, ensuring they become tender while maintaining a slight texture.

    Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the diced sweet potatoes to the skillet. Season them generously with salt and black pepper.

      Cook Sweet Potatoes: Allow the sweet potatoes to cook for about 10-12 minutes. Stir occasionally to promote even cooking, until they begin to soften and achieve a light golden hue on the edges.

        Add Vegetables: Introduce the diced red onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper to the skillet. Continue to sauté for an additional 5-7 minutes until the peppers are tender and the onions are soft and translucent.

          Add Flavor: Mix in the minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, and chili powder. Sauté for another 2-3 minutes to allow the spices to bloom and the garlic to release its fragrance.

            Incorporate Black Beans: Carefully fold in the rinsed black beans, allowing them to heat through, which should take about 2 minutes. Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

              Optional Eggs: If you choose to add eggs, create small wells in the hash mixture and gently crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook for approximately 5-7 minutes, or until the eggs reach your preferred doneness (runny or firm).

                Serve: Once everything is cooked, remove the skillet from heat. Serve the breakfast hash warm, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro and avocado slices positioned on the side for a delightful creaminess.
