Instructions

Wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
Boil eggs: Place eggs in a large pot. Add water until there is 1" of water above the eggs. Place on the stove on medium-high heat. Bring to a boil. Remove eggs from heat. Cover and let eggs stand in hot water for 12 minutes to hard-boil the eggs. Wash hands after touching uncooked eggs.
While eggs are cooking, prepare an ice bath. Place ice and water in a large bowl. Set aside.
Remove eggs with a slotted spoon. Place in the ice bath for 10 minutes.
Prepare bean mixture: Heat on an extra-large nonstick skillet on medium-high heat. Spray with nonstick cooking spray. Add beans, tomatoes with juice, water, cumin, and salt. Stir. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to medium. Simmer for 30–35 minutes. Heat to 140 °F or higher for at least 15 seconds.
Peel and cut each egg into 3 pieces.
Serve ½ cup (#8 scoop) bean mixture, ⅓ of an egg (1 piece), and chopped cilantro. Serve immediately, or keep warm at 140 °F or higher.

Notes

Contains eggs.
The ice bath will cool the eggs quickly and make them easier to peel.
