Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 0.5 pounds ground beef
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
• 0.5 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
• 0.5 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 medium avocado, diced
• 1 teaspoon hot sauce
• 1 cup tortilla chips (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the milk, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.

Step 3

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, about 5-6 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the taco seasoning and cook for an additional minute until fully combined with the beef. Transfer the seasoned beef to a plate and set aside.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Cook gently, stirring frequently with a spatula, until the eggs are scrambled and just set, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Return the seasoned ground beef to the skillet and stir to combine with the scrambled eggs.

Step 7

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the egg and beef mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the cheese melt, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the taco scramble with fresh cilantro, halved cherry tomatoes, and diced avocado.

Step 9

Serve immediately, optionally garnished with hot sauce and tortilla chips for added crunch.
