Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
- 1 4-ounce can Diced green chilies (canned)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 cup Shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 4 Large eggs
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Cooking oil (such as avocado or olive oil)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch pie dish lightly with cooking oil or cooking spray.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the cooking oil. Once hot, add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, about 5-6 minutes. Drain excess grease if needed.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the beef mixture and stir to coat evenly. Add the diced green chilies and chopped cilantro, mixing well to combine. Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Spread the ground beef mixture evenly in the prepared pie dish. Sprinkle the shredded Mexican cheese blend over the top.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the beef and cheese, ensuring it seeps down into the layers.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with chopped green onions and serve warm. Optionally, serve with a dollop of sour cream and your favorite salsa on the side.
