I first came up with this recipe when I was looking for a quick and easy way to use up some leftover tempeh. I had been experimenting with different ways to cook tempeh, and I had found that crumbling it and cooking it in a skillet gave it a nice, crispy texture. I also had a can of black beans in my pantry, so I decided to add them to the skillet along with some chopped vegetables. The result was a delicious and satisfying breakfast that I've been making ever since.
