Description
This Taco Breakfast Scramble is a healthy, flavorful, and nutrient-dense meal prep option, featuring ground beef, eggs, and fresh vegetables. It’s perfect for busy mornings, Whole30, or low-carb lifestyles.
Ingredients
1 lb ground beef (90/10)
6 eggs
1 green pepper, diced
1 red pepper, diced
½ cup white onion, diced
2 tbsp avocado oil
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp minced garlic
Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish: avocado, cilantro, olives
Instructions
- Heat avocado oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.
- Add the diced onion, garlic, and peppers to the skillet. Sauté until the peppers begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
- Add the ground beef along with the cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook until the meat is no longer pink, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks.
- Crack the eggs into a small bowl, adding salt and pepper. Scramble with a fork.
- Once the peppers are tender and the meat is fully cooked, create an opening in the middle of the skillet. Pour the scrambled eggs into the opening and let them set.
- As the eggs begin to cook, gently stir the mixture together to combine everything.
- Once the eggs are fully cooked, divide the scramble into 4 containers. Top each serving with fresh cilantro, avocado, and optional olives.
Notes
- For a spicier version, add diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.
- Can substitute ground beef with ground turkey, chicken, or sausage.
- For a vegetarian version, omit the ground beef and replace with plant-based protein or beans.
- This recipe is already dairy-free, but you can add cheese if not following Whole30.
- Store in airtight containers for up to 4 days in the fridge.
- For extra texture and nutrients, serve with roasted sweet potatoes or a low-carb tortilla.
- This dish can be frozen for up to 3 months, just make sure it cools completely before storing.
