The Easiest "Cuban" Breakfast Hash


Every now and then you need to clean out your fridge, but you're also hungry and don't want to see those odd-man items go to waste! Sound familiar? If you're like me, you can get a little carried away in the grocery store despite your best intentions. Anyways -- a "hungry cleanout" happened to me recently, and this "Cuban" breakfast hash was the result, which was actually packed with yummy and healthy flavor. Sometimes you can throw ingredients together and the result is incredibly tasty, in an unexpected way!

Servings: 1

What You'll Need:
  • 4 egg whites
  • 1/2 cup canned black beans
    • I used the "Cuban style black beans" from Trader Joe's
  • 2 tbsp salsa
  • 2 thin-cut turkey slices, ripped into bite-size pieces
  • Cooking Spray & Small frying pan
The Step-by-Step:
  1. Apply cooking spray to frying pan and let heat for about 3 minutes on "medium."
  2. Season egg whites with salt & pepper.
  3. Cook egg whites in pan, using a spoon or spatula (whatever you have) to stir.
  4. Stir in the turkey pieces and the black beans and let cook until the egg whites are firm (about 3 more minutes.)
  5. Serve with salsa as the topping, and if you have fresh red bell pepper, slice that baby up! I also made use of that last whole wheat tortilla and light cheese wedge.
here's to spending less and eating better.
