Ingredients
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 cup salsa sauce
- 6 medium eggs
- Heat the Skillet: Take out a large skillet, add olive oil, and heat it over medium-high heat to prepare for cooking.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
