Spanish Carnitas Egg Scramble

Creamy scrambled eggs topped with tender pork carnitas, refried pinto beans, queso fresco, and pico de gallo, finished with enchilada sauce and crispy tortilla strips.

Sat back in row 3 on a last minute upgrade, I was thankful that this entree was still available when the FA made it back to me. Tasty and filling, it was one of the better breakfast entrees I've been served of late. Bravo, Alaska!

I might add that there's been some ongoing concern over at the AS meals discussion thread about the possibility that the refried beans may result in some undesirable bodily emissions.

I can only speak for myself, but I didn't have any problems. The beans are not a large portion. They are there as - for me at least - a welcome and flavorful addition to the meal. They're not the main course. But what the heck - if you're especially sensitive to beans, either order a different entree or pack some Bean-o or Gas-X along.
