Ingredients

  • 2 tsp Extra-virgin Olive oil
  • 1/2 Lb Lean ground beef I use 93% lean
  • 1/2 Tbsp Taco seasoning
  • 3/4 Cup Salsa of choice
  • 6 Eggs
  • 4 Egg whites
  • Pinch of salt and pepper
  • 1 Cup Reduced-fat Mexican cheese blend

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees and GENEROUSLY spray a muffin pan with cooking spray.
  • In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
  • Add in the ground beef and cook, breaking up, until no longer pink. Add in the taco seasoning and stir until well mixed.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the salsa. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and egg whites with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Using a ladle, divide the eggs between 12 muffin cavities.
  • Divide the beef mixture between the cavities, which is about 2 Tbsp per cavity.
  • Finally, top each muffin cavity with 1 lightly heaping Tbsp of the cheese.
  • Bake until the eggs are set and lightly golden brown, about 20-23 minutes.
  • Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes and them remove to a wire rack to finish cooling.
  • DEVOUR!
