Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 count large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 cup cooked taco-seasoned ground beef (or vegetarian alternative)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 count cherry tomatoes, diced
- 2 count green onions, sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup tortilla chips for garnish (optional)
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt and coat the pan evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds.
Using a spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center as they begin to set, creating soft folds.
Once the eggs are slightly runny, add the cooked taco-seasoned ground beef to the skillet. Stir gently to incorporate.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs and continue cooking until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully cooked but still soft.
Remove the skillet from heat and gently fold in the diced cherry tomatoes and sliced green onions.
Divide the taco eggs onto two plates and garnish with fresh cilantro, tortilla chips, and a drizzle of hot sauce if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Taco Eggs!
