How to Make Taco Eggs

  1. Prepare your salsa: If making your own, finely chop 1/2 cup of red onion, 1 cup of tomatoes, 1 jalapeño pepper (seeded and minced for less heat), and 1/4 cup of cilantro. Combine with 2 tablespoons of lime juice and salt to taste.
  2. Cook the ground beef: In a large skillet, brown 1 pound of ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Scramble the eggs: In a separate bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs with 1/4 cup of milk, salt, and pepper to taste.
  4. Assemble the Taco Eggs: Lightly grease a large oven-safe skillet or baking dish. Spread the cooked ground beef evenly across the bottom. Pour the scrambled eggs over the beef. Top with the prepared salsa and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
  5. Bake: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy! Garnish with extra cilantro and sour cream, if desired.
