Ingredients
- 1zucchini, cut into bite-sized pieces
- Handful cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) low-sodium black beans, rinsed and drained
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- Salt
- Pepper
- 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 4eggs
- Cheese (shredded cheddar or Parmesan work well)
Directions
- In a large frying pan, sauté zucchini, tomatoes, beans, and rice in olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- When rice begins to stick, add broth and cook until tomatoes wilt and zucchini begins to brown, about 5 to 7 minutes.
