Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 egg whites
  • 0.5 cup low-fat cottage cheese
  • 0.5 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 0.75 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup spinach, fresh
  • 0.25 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 green chili, finely chopped
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and egg whites until well combined. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the chopped red onion and green chili to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 4

Add the spinach and cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for another 2 minutes until the spinach is wilted and the tomatoes soften.

Step 5

Stir in the black beans and cook for 1 additional minute until they are warmed through.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and pour in the egg mixture. Let it sit for a moment before stirring gently.

Step 7

Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are just set but still creamy (about 3-4 minutes).

Step 8

Fold in the cottage cheese and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for another minute until the cheese is fully incorporated and warm.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish the scrambled eggs with fresh cilantro and serve hot with sliced avocado on top.

Step 10

Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top just before eating.
