  2 cloves garlic, minced

  4 tsp (20 mL) Tex Mex seasoning

  1 can (540 mL) black beans, drained and rinsed

  5 eggs

  1 1/2 cups (375 mL) milk

  1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt

  1/4 tsp (1 mL) pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Heat oil in large skillet set over medium heat; cook chicken, onion, garlic and Tex Mex seasoning for 8 to 10 minutes or until chicken is browned all over. Stir in beans; cook for about 5 minutes or until chicken is just cooked and beans are well coated.

In large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt and pepper. Add bread; toss to coat. Stir in chicken mixture and half of the cheese. Let stand for about 10 minutes or until bread has absorbed the egg mixture.

Transfer to greased 13- x 9-inch (3 L) baking dish; gently press down and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until golden brown, puffy and set. Sprinkle with green onions; serve with salsa, and lime (if desired).

Tips:
• Serve with pickled jalapeño peppers for a spicy addition.
• Substitute Cheddar for Tex Mex cheese blend if desired.
