    • 1 pound extra lean ground beef

    • 1 tablespoon chili powder

    • 1 teaspoon cumin

    • 1 teaspoon onion powder

    • Optional: 1/2 cup black beans (rinsed and drained) and 1/2 cup corn kernels (fresh or canned, drained)

    • recipe serves 4 people


Instructions:

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced red onions and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. Add extra lean ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 5-6 minutes.

  3. Sprinkle chili powder, cumin, onion powder, and nutritional yeast over the beef mixture. Stir well to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the spices to toast and the flavors to meld.

  4. If using, add black beans and corn to the skillet and stir to incorporate.

  5. Create small wells in the beef mixture and crack the eggs directly into the skillet. Season the eggs with salt and pepper to taste. Cover the skillet and cook until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 5-7 minutes.

  6. Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle diced tomatoes, diced avocado, sliced jalapeño, and chopped cilantro over the top.

  7. Serve the breakfast taco skillet hot, directly from the skillet, and enjoy your high-protein, low-carb breakfast masterpiece!
