MEXICAN SCRAMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• Whisk eggs together in a bowl. Mix in onion, milk, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, jalapeno pepper, chile powder, onion powder, cumin, cinnamon, salt, and pepper.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; grease with cooking spray. Pour in egg mixture; cook and stir until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side.

MEXICAN-STYLE BEANS AND EGGS

Steps:

• In a blender, finely puree the tomatoes, stock, onion, garlic, chile and cumin until smooth.
• Heat the oil in a large nonstick pan set over medium-high heat. Once hot, pour contents of the blender into the pan and season lightly with salt. Simmer until the sauce reduces by half, about 3 minutes. Stir the beans and their liquid into sauce. Cook until the sauce simmers and thickens slightly, about 2 minutes.
• Crack the eggs into pan, leaving enough space between each egg so they do not touch the sides of the pan or each other. Reduce the heat to medium-low, so the sauce barely simmers, and cover pan. Continue to gently cook until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny, about 4 more minutes. Serve with the garnishes of your choosing.

• Place half of the mixture into one or more baking dishes, top with the eggs and spoon the remaining mixture around the eggs.
