Breakfast Skillet (For Dinner)

Are chili beans gluten free?  Might double check that...
Tonight we had breakfast for dinner and it turned out good so I thought I'd pass it along.

2 potatoes
1 or 2 zucchini
1 can of chili beans, drained (beans only not chili con carne)
2 stalks of green onion
8 eggs
cheddar cheese
2 cloves garlic
salt 
1/4 ish cup of your favorite salsa 
pepper
olive oil or butter
avocado

Cut potatoes and zucchini into bite size pieces.  Saute garlic and green onion in olive oil or butter.  Add potatoes and cook until tender.  In a separate pan saute zucchini until it is cooked to desired texture.  Add zucchini and chili beans to potatoes.  Scramble eggs and add cheddar cheese towards the end when they are almost fully cooked.  Once the eggs are cooked, mix potato, zucchini, beans and eggs all together.  Add fresh avocado on top.  Serve immediately.
