Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • Chili powder
  • Smoked paprika
  • Cumin
  • Granulated garlic
  • Fennel seeds
  • Tomato paste
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Melty cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • Sliced avocado
  • Diced tomato
  • Fresh cilantro
  • Lime

Instructions

  • Brown the Meat: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil and the ground beef. Add the spices (chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic, fennel seeds, salt, and pepper). Cook, stirring occasionally until the meat is browned, about 8-10 minutes. Set aside.
  • Prepare the Eggs: Crack the eggs into a large bowl, season with salt and pepper, and whisk to combine. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and add your preferred fat (olive oil or butter). Pour in the whisked eggs and gently fold them with a spatula as they cook. When halfway cooked, sprinkle with half of the cheese. Continue cooking until desired doneness.
  • Assemble and Serve: Divide the ground beef among serving bowls. Top each bowl with a portion of the cooked eggs. Sprinkle with remaining cheese, tomato, cilantro, and avocado. Serve with a lime wedge.

Notes

  • Consider sautéing onions and peppers with the ground beef for a richer flavor.
  • Experiment with cheeses such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, or pepper Jack.
  • Customize your dish by adding hot sauce, salsa, or other toppings.
