Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/4 cups milk (or a non-dairy alternative)
- pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 chopped onion
- 1 chopped bell pepper
- 1 can drained and rinsed black beans
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 4 large eggs
- shredded cheese (cheddar or pepper jack)
- fresh cilantro
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 large eggs, 1 1/4 cups of milk (or a non-dairy alternative), and a pinch of salt until smooth. Let the batter rest for about 30 minutes.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet, swirling to form a thin layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges lift, then flip and cook for another minute. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes on a plate.
- In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Sauté 1 chopped onion and 1 chopped bell pepper until softened. Add 1 can of drained and rinsed black beans, 1 teaspoon of cumin, and 1 teaspoon of chili powder. Stir and cook for about 5 minutes. Make sure to mash some of the beans for a creamy texture.
- In a separate bowl, beat together 4 large eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the eggs into the skillet with the black bean mixture and cook, stirring gently until the eggs are just set.
- Take a crepe and spoon some of the black bean and egg mixture onto one half. Sprinkle with shredded cheese and fold the crepe over. Repeat with the remaining crepes.
- Plate the crepes and garnish with fresh cilantro. You can also add avocado slices or a dollop of sour cream for extra flavor.

Keywords: If your batter seems too thick, add a little more milk to achieve a pourable consistency. Feel free to get creative with your fillings! Adding cooked corn, diced tomatoes, or spinach can enhance the nutritional value and flavor.
