Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.5 pounds ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 0.5 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 medium avocado, diced
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- 1 cup tortilla chips (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the milk, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, about 5-6 minutes.
Stir in the taco seasoning and cook for an additional minute until fully combined with the beef. Transfer the seasoned beef to a plate and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Cook gently, stirring frequently with a spatula, until the eggs are scrambled and just set, about 3-4 minutes.
Return the seasoned ground beef to the skillet and stir to combine with the scrambled eggs.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the egg and beef mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the cheese melt, about 1-2 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the taco scramble with fresh cilantro, halved cherry tomatoes, and diced avocado.
Serve immediately, optionally garnished with hot sauce and tortilla chips for added crunch.
