Ingredients

1 can (15 oz) mixed beans (such as black beans, chickpeas, and kidney beans), drained and rinsed

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp ground cumin

1/2 tsp chili powder (adjust to taste)

1 cup diced tomatoes (canned or fresh)

2 tbsp olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

4 slices of your favorite bread (sourdough or whole grain recommended)

Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish

Optional: 1 ripe avocado, sliced, or a dollop of Greek yogurt for serving

Instructions

Sauté the Vegetables: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and red bell pepper. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add Garlic and Spices: Stir in the minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin, and chili powder. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Incorporate the Beans and Tomatoes: Add the drained mixed beans and diced tomatoes to the skillet. Stir well to combine, and season with salt and pepper. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. If the mixture gets too thick, add a splash of water.

Toast the Bread: While the bean mixture is simmering, toast the slices of bread to your desired crispness.

Serve: Spoon the spiced bean mixture generously over each slice of toast. If desired, top with avocado slices or a spoonful of Greek yogurt. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley.

Enjoy: Serve warm and enjoy a hearty and nutritious breakfast!
