Ingredients

1 teaspoon oil

1 lb ground beef

1 cup salsa

6 eggs


Instructions

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  • Add ground beef to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes.

  • Stir in salsa and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes until heated through.

  • Create six wells in the beef mixture and crack an egg into each well.

  • Cover the skillet and cook for 6–8 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your desired doneness.

  • Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions if desired.

Notes

Variations: Add chili powder or red pepper flakes for heat, or incorporate veggies like bell peppers or spinach for added nutrients. For a cheesy twist, sprinkle shredded cheese over the eggs during the last minute of cooking.

Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Reheating: Reheat in a skillet over low heat or microwave in 30-second intervals until warm.
