Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 24

5 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon olive oil
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large sweet potato, diced
½ teaspoon fine sea salt, divided
½ teaspoon garlic powder, divided
½ teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon onion powder, divided
¼ teaspoon chile powder with lime (such as Trader Joe's Chile Lime Seasoning Blend®)
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, or to taste
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon adobo sauce from chipotle peppers
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons olive oil
4 (6 inch) corn tortillas, or more to taste
1 cup fresh spinach
2 avocados, sliced
3 radishes, thinly sliced
2 green onions, chopped
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Combine garlic, 1/2 teaspoon olive oil, and a pinch each salt and pepper in a small piece of aluminum foil. Fold it up to loosely cover and set it on the corner of the baking sheet.
  • Toss sweet potato together with 2 tablespoons oil on the baking sheet. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, chili powder, onion powder, chile powder with lime, and paprika on top. Toss thoroughly and spread out.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until sweet potatoes are tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place roasted sweet potatoes in a bowl. Unwrap the foil packet and toss roasted garlic mixture into the bowl of sweet potatoes.
  • Place remaining sea salt, garlic powder, onion powder, pinto beans, lime juice, water, adobo sauce, and black pepper in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 4 minutes. Mash bean mixture together. Cover and keep warm.
  • Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Crack eggs into the pan and separate them; immediately cover with a lid. Cook until whites are set and yolks are mostly firm, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Heat tortillas in the preheated oven until warm, about 5 minutes.
  • Place each tortilla on a plate. Layer on a small handful of spinach, a spoonful of mashed pinto beans, a small amount of sweet potato cubes, and a few slices of avocado. Place a fried egg on top. Sprinkle with radishes, green onions, and cilantro.
