Step by step
Method
- 01
Coat a nonstick skillet lightly with cooking spray and warm it over medium heat.

Cook the non-egg ingredients—no-salt-added black beans, diced poblano, fresh salsa—until the vegetables are tender, reserving any cheese or fresh herbs for the top.
- 03
Beat eggs in a bowl, pour into the skillet, and cook gently; fold softly set curds for a scramble or let the eggs set before folding once for an omelet.
- 04
Cook the egg mixture to 160°F, with no liquid egg remaining.
