DIRECTIONS
In a sauce pan, combine the black beans with their liquid, red pepper, onions, lime juice, cumin, and salt (optional). Heat over low heat until most of the liquid has absorbed.
Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and spray with cooking spray. Crack both the eggs and fry for 2 minutes, until the whites are beginning to set. Flip and continue to cook until egg yolks are at your desired doneness.
In a small bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, cilantro, and lime juice. Assemble the bowl with rice, cooked black beans, fried eggs, and add the cilantro yogurt. Sprinkle with Cotija cheese. Serve with 8-ounce glass of milk.
