Instructions

Heat the oil: Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a large 10-12 inch skillet to prepare for sautéing the vegetables.
Sauté the aromatics: Add the diced red onion, red bell pepper, and jalapeño to the skillet, sautéing until the onions become translucent and tender, releasing their flavors.
Add spices and sweet potatoes: Stir in the cubed sweet potatoes along with cumin, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper, ensuring the sweet potatoes are evenly coated with the spices.
Cook sweet potatoes: Continue to cook the sweet potatoes for about 10 minutes, stirring regularly until they start browning at the edges and turn fork-tender.
Add black beans: Incorporate the rinsed black beans into the skillet and toss everything together to combine well.
Create wells and add eggs: Move the sweet potato mixture aside to create four small wells. Crack one egg into each well carefully. Cover the pan with a lid and cook until the eggs reach your desired doneness.
Finish and garnish: Once eggs are cooked, sprinkle the chopped fresh cilantro on top for a fresh, bright finish. Serve immediately.

Notes

For a spicier version, leave some jalapeño seeds in the dish or add extra chili powder.
You can substitute black beans with pinto beans or kidney beans if preferred.
If you want a vegan version, omit the eggs or substitute with tofu scramble.
Ensure the sweet potato cubes are uniform in size for even cooking.
This dish pairs well with warm tortillas or avocado slices.
