10 to 12 oz. sliced raw beef fillet steak (or boneless, skinless chicken breast)
6 eggs, whisked together
3/4 c. golden potato, peeled and diced
1/4 c. red bell pepper diced
1/4 c. green bell pepper, diced
1/4 c. red onion, thinly slivered
1 tbsp. taco seasoning (without salt), divided
1 tbsp. lime juice
1 tsp. garlic paste
1 tbsp. cilantro (dried or fresh chopped)
1 tsp. sea salt, divided
2 tbsp. butter
Pico de gallo, for topping
shredded cheddar cheese, for topping
flour or corn tortillas

Cut your chosen protein into thin slices.

Mix sliced meat with 1/2 tablespoon of the taco seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon of the sea salt, the lime juice, garlic paste, and cilantro. Rub the mixture all together and let marinate for 10 minutes while prepping other ingredients.

Peel and dice the potato and bell peppers. After measuring the correct amount, place them in a microwave safe bowl. Cover the bowl with a damp paper towel and microwave it for 3 minutes. Test to see if the veggies are soft, and if needed, microwave 30 more seconds. Toss them with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon taco seasoning and 1/2 teaspoon sea salt.

Heat a nonstick skillet or cast iron skillet over medium high heat for a couple minutes. Add the butter to the hot pan and let it melt. Add the marinated protein to the hot pan and let it sear for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the thinly sliced red onions on top.

After one more minute, begin to stir the meat and add in the seasoned potatoes and bell peppers. Cook for 3 to 4 more minutes (or until everything becomes brown and crispy).

Turn the heat to medium low, pour the 6 whisked eggs over the ingredients in the pan, and scramble everything together. Cook until the scrambled eggs are your desired consistency.

Serve topped with condiments in bowls or on warmed tortillas for the perfect breakfast taco any time of day!

This scramble recipe can be topped with shredded cheddar cheese, pico de gallo, chopped cilantro, sour cream, avocado, salsa, or even hot sauce! Pretty much any “Southwestern” condiment will complement this dish perfectly!
