Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare the Base: Begin by cooking your brown rice or quinoa if you haven’t already. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
Prepare the Eggs: In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with milk, salt, and pepper until well blended. The goal is a creamy mixture that will yield fluffy scrambled eggs.
Cook the Eggs: Heat the skillet over medium heat and add olive oil or butter. Once melted, pour in the egg mixture. Stir gently with a spatula, allowing the eggs to form soft curds. Cook for about 4-5 minutes or until they reach your desired doneness.
Cook the Sausage (if using): In a separate skillet, brown the cooked sausage over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 3 minutes until heated through. If you are using jackfruit, cook it until it becomes tender and easily shredded.
Assemble the Bowl: Start by placing a generous scoop of rice or quinoa at the bottom of each serving bowl. Layer with a scoop of black beans, followed by the scrambled eggs, sausage (if using), diced avocado, and pico de gallo.
Garnish: Top each bowl with chopped cilantro for an extra pop of flavor and freshness.

Special Notes

Storage: If you have leftovers, store the components separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days. The rice, beans, and eggs can be reheated in the microwave.
Make Ahead: Prepare the rice and black beans a day in advance. You can also scramble the eggs and keep them in the fridge for quick assembly in the morning.
Troubleshooting: If you find your scrambled eggs too dry, add a splash more milk while cooking to reach your desired creaminess.

Variations and Customizations

Gluten-Free: This recipe is naturally gluten-free, as all the ingredients used are gluten-free. Just ensure that any store-bought salsa or sauces adhere to gluten-free standards.
Vegan Option: Substitute eggs with a chickpea flour batter and skip the dairy entirely. Jackfruit or tofu works wonderfully as a meat alternative.
Low-Carb: Instead of using brown rice or quinoa, consider cauliflower rice for a lower carb option.
