Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ cup diced white onion
  • 1 seeded and diced jalapeño
  • 3 teaspoons minced garlic
  • ½ cup drained black beans
  • 1 10-ounce can diced tomatoes with green chilies
  • 1 cup cooked pulled pork
  • 2 lightly beaten eggs
  • 3 cups cooked rice
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • 2 teaspoons oregano
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet or wok, warm the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion, jalapeño, and minced garlic, cooking until tender (about 3 minutes).
  2. Stir in the black beans, diced tomatoes with green chilies, and pulled pork. Toss gently to marry the flavors.
  3. Push the mixture to one side of the skillet and pour the lightly beaten eggs into the clear space. Scramble the eggs until nearly cooked, then combine with the savory meat and vegetables.
  4. Fold in the cooked rice along with Worcestershire sauce, cumin, oregano, paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Continue cooking until the rice is heated through and starts to brown.
