Tex-Mex Breakfast Bowls are protein-packed, flavorful, and ideal for meal prep. Featuring seasoned meat, scrambled eggs, veggies, beans, and grains, these bowls offer a bold and nourishing start to the day.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken sausage or lean ground turkey
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn (fresh, canned, or frozen)
  • 2 bell peppers, diced
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice or quinoa
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (optional)
  • Fresh cilantro or green onions, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook brown rice or quinoa according to package instructions.
  2. While grains cook, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Sauté diced bell peppers and onion until soft, about 5–7 minutes.
  4. Add chicken sausage or ground turkey along with garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until meat is browned and cooked through.
  5. Push meat and veggies to one side of the skillet. Scramble the eggs in the same pan until fully cooked.
  6. Stir in black beans and corn, cooking for 1–2 minutes until warmed through.
  7. Divide the cooked rice or quinoa among 4 containers.
  8. Top each with the sausage and egg mixture. Sprinkle with shredded cheese if using.
  9. Garnish with cilantro or green onions once cooled. Store or serve as desired.

Notes

  • Use tofu crumbles or extra beans for a vegetarian version.
  • Swap eggs for egg whites for a lighter option.
  • Dairy-free cheese works well if avoiding dairy.
  • Let all ingredients cool completely before sealing for freezer storage.
  • To avoid rubbery eggs, reheat in short intervals and stir halfway through.
