Ingredients
- Soft flour tortillas (taco or fajita size)
- Eggs
- Lean ground beef
- Chili powder
- Cumin
- Paprika
- Salt
- Pepper
- Diced onions
- Diced bell peppers (any color)
- Salsa (chunky, mild or medium)
- Shredded cheddar cheese

- Fresh cilantro
- Diced avocado
- Sour cream or Greek yogurt

- Butter or oil (for cooking eggs)
- Jalapeño (optional, seeds removed)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Brown your lean ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, draining any excess fat.
- Stir taco seasoning (chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper) into the beef along with the diced onions and bell peppers. Cook for 5-7 minutes until vegetables are softened, then remove from heat and mix in about 1/4 cup of salsa.
- Whisk eggs in a bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook in a non-stick skillet with butter or oil until just set but still moist.
- Warm the flour tortillas in a damp paper towel in the microwave or in a dry skillet.
- Assemble tacos by laying a warm tortilla, spooning about 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture, followed by scrambled eggs and a sprinkle of cheese.
- Fold each tortilla in half and place seam-side down in the baking dish. Pack snugly together.
- Sprinkle remaining cheese over the tops, cover with foil, and bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 5-10 minutes until cheese is melted and edges are golden.
- Remove from oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with cilantro, avocado, sour cream or Greek yogurt, and extra salsa or hot sauce.
