All-natural olive oil cooking spray

2 tablespoons Spice Blend, recipe follows

One 15-ounce can diced fire-roasted tomatoes or diced tomatoes with green chilies

One 15-ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained

1 1/2 pounds cooked chopped beef brisket

1 1/2 cups shredded pepper jack cheese

1 cup shredded sharp white Cheddar

4 to 6 large or jumbo organic eggs (1 per person)
