Drain the soaked beans and cook them in fresh water until tender but not falling apart; then drain and set aside.

In a large skillet, cook the diced bacon and sausage over medium heat until crispy; remove the meats from the skillet, leaving the rendered fat behind.

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the rendered fat in the skillet; cook until the onion is translucent.

Add the chopped collard greens and salt to the skillet; cook until they are wilted and bright green.

Return the cooked meats to the skillet with the vegetables; add the cooked beans and mix well.

Gradually sprinkle the cassava flour over the mixture, stirring continuously until the flour is fully incorporated and toasted.

Make small wells in the mixture and crack an egg into each well; let the eggs set for a moment before scrambling them into the rest of the dish.

Season the dish with salt and black pepper to taste; garnish with chopped fresh cilantro just before serving.

Serve the dish accompanied by lime wedges.
