A hearty breakfast hash with crispy potatoes, spicy peppers, and savory spices for a bold Southwestern twist.

Ingredients

  • 2 medium red potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1-inch pieces

  • 3 tablespoons canola oil

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and finely diced

  • 3 scallions, cut into 1/4-inch slices (reserve 1 for garnish)

  • 8 ounces cherry tomatoes, halved

  • 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed

  • 2 teaspoons nutritional yeast seasoning

  • 1 package (8 ounces) plain, pasteurized organic tempeh, crumbled

  • 1 medium avocado, coarsely chopped

  • Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  • In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of canola oil over medium heat. Add the red potatoes, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and tender.
  • Add the remaining tablespoon of oil, ground cumin, and jalapeño to the skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  • Stir in the scallions (reserving 1 for garnish), cherry tomatoes, black beans, and nutritional yeast. Cook for 3-5 minutes until the tomatoes soften.
  • Add the crumbled tempeh, cooking for another 5-7 minutes, allowing the tempeh to absorb the flavors and crisp slightly.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the chopped avocado.
  • Garnish with the reserved scallion slices. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot.
