Method

Chili Preparation

1

Sauté Vegetables

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and garlic, cooking until onion is translucent.

2

Add Remaining Vegetables

Stir in bell pepper, carrot, and zucchini. Cook for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.

3

Combine Ingredients

Add diced tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, vegetable broth, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir well.

4

Simmer

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Rice Preparation

5

Cook Rice

In a separate pot, bring water and salt to a boil. Add rice, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until rice is cooked and water is absorbed.

Eggs and Pita Preparation

6

Fry Eggs

In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Crack eggs into the skillet and cook until the whites are set but yolks are still runny, about 3-4 minutes.

Meanwhile, toast the pita bread until golden and crispy.

Serve

In a bowl, add a serving of rice topped with chili. Add a dollop of sour cream, place a sunny-side-up egg on top, and serve with toasted pita bread on the side.
