Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 pound 97% lean ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon fennel seeds
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 medium tomato, diced
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 large avocado, sliced
  • 1 large lime cut into fourths

Instructions

  1. Brown the Meat: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add a tablespoon of olive oil, ground beef, and spices. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until browned and cooked through. This should take about 8-10 minutes. Drain off any excess grease and set the meat aside.
  2. Prepare the Eggs: Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk with salt and pepper. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. As the eggs cook, gently stir and fold them with a spatula until they reach your desired level of doneness. Once the eggs are almost set, sprinkle half the cheese over them. Continue cooking until the cheese is melted.
  3. Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked ground beef and scrambled eggs between bowls. Top each bowl with the remaining cheese, diced tomatoes, fresh cilantro, and avocado slices. Serve immediately, with a lime wedge for squeezing over the top. Enjoy!

Notes

Tips:

  • For a spicier kick, add a dash of hot sauce to the ground beef or eggs.
  • Customize your bowls with your favorite vegetables, such as spinach, bell peppers, or onions.
  • If you prefer a lower-fat option, use egg whites instead of whole eggs.
