fried eggs,or scrambled eggs
toasted pepitas,(green pumpkin seeds)
crumbled cotija,or feta cheese

handfulhalved cherry tomatoes

Preparation
Prepare each component according to directions. (The beans will take the longest, approximately 1 to 2 hours on the stove, but all of the components will keep well if made in advance).
When ready to serve, divide the rice into bowls. Top with a generous portion of black beans, followed by some pickled onions and a dollop or two of pesto. Finish it off with any additions of choosing.
Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For maximum freshness, store each component separately. When ready to serve, gently reheat desired portions of rice and beans before topping with onions, pesto, and additions.
