Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 cup salsa sauce
  • 6 medium eggs

Instructions

  1. Heat the Skillet: Take out a large skillet, add olive oil, and heat it over medium-high heat to prepare for cooking.
  2. Cook the Ground Beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook it occasionally stirring until it’s completely browned and no longer pink, approximately 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add Salsa Sauce: Pour in the salsa sauce, mix with the ground beef, and let it cook together for another 2-3 minutes so the flavors meld.
  4. Add the Eggs: Crack the eggs directly over the beef and salsa mixture in the skillet. Cover the skillet with a lid to help the eggs cook evenly.
  5. Cook the Eggs: Let the eggs cook for about 6-7 minutes, or until the egg whites are fully set and yolks reach your preferred doneness.
  6. Optional Garnish: If desired, sprinkle chopped green onions on top before serving to add a fresh, mild onion flavor.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner protein option.
  • Adjust the salsa heat level to suit your taste, from mild to spicy.
  • For a more filling meal, serve with warm tortillas or crusty bread.
  • Make sure the eggs are cooked through if serving to kids or those sensitive to undercooked eggs.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in a skillet or microwave.
