Ingredients

Units Scale

Protein Base

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack

Beef Seasoning

  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp granulated garlic
  • 1/4 tsp fennel seeds (optional but really good)
  • Salt and pepper

Toppings

  • Diced tomatoes or red bell peppers
  • Fresh cilantro
  • Lime wedges
  • Sliced avocado (add day-of)

Instructions

  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat with a small amount of olive oil. Add the beef and break it apart as it cooks. Sprinkle in your spices and tomato paste. Let everything cook together until the meat is browned, and you can smell the spices, about 8–10 minutes. Set it aside.
  2. Crack the eggs into a bowl, season with salt and pepper, and whisk them.
  3. Warm a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat with butter or olive oil. Pour in the eggs, and gently fold them as they cook. When they’re halfway set, add half the cheese. Cook until they’re as soft or firm as you like.
  4. Divide the beef between 3–4 containers. Top with eggs, a little more cheese, tomatoes or peppers, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime. Add avocado only when you're ready to eat.
