Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 lb (450g) 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 lime, cut into fourths
Instructions
- Brown the Meat: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, ground beef, and spices. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess grease and set the meat aside.
- 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. 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.
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked ground beef and scrambled eggs between bowls. Top each bowl with the remaining cheese, diced tomatoes, chopped cilantro, and avocado slices. Serve immediately, with a lime wedge for squeezing over the top.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- You can adjust the spices to suit your taste, adding more chili powder or cumin for extra flavor.
- Feel free to substitute the cheddar cheese with your favorite cheese variety.
