Ingredients

Ground Beef

  • 2 tbsp olive oil divided
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp fennel seeds
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Scrambled eggs

  • 8 large eggs
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Toppings

  • 1 cup cheddar cheese divided
  • 1 medium tomato diced
  • 1/4 cup parsley chopped
  • 1/2 avocado sliced
  • 1 lime cut into fourths

Instructions

  • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tbsp of olive oil, ground beef, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, fennel seeds, chili powder, sea salt and black pepper.
  • Stir well while breaking up the beef apart. Cook until it browns up and is fully covered with all of the spices. It will take around 8-10 minutes.
  • Drain the excess fluid, remove the beef from the skillet, and set it aside. Lower the heat.
  • In a bowl, whisk all of the eggs together. Add 1 tbsp of olive oil into the same skillet and pour in the eggs. Season with salt and black pepper.
  • Gently stir and fold your eggs with a spatula until they're done. It will depend on how you like your scrambled eggs, I love mine a little more mushy and liquidy.
  • Once the eggs are almost set, you'll want to sprinkle 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese all over them. Cook until the cheese has melted.
  • Divide the cooked ground beef into 4 meal prep containers. Top up with scrambled egg, dividing evenly across all the containers.
  • Top each bowl with ½ cup cheddar cheese, tomatoes, parsley, and avocado slices. Serve with a wedge of lime on the side.
