Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef or turkey
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 bell pepper, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 packet taco seasoning (check for low-carb options)
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
4 large eggs
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional toppings: avocado slices, chopped green onions, salsa
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the Meat Mixture:
Cook the ground beef or turkey until browned in a large skillet over medium heat. In a mixing dish, combine the chopped onion, diced bell pepper, and minced garlic. Cook until the vegetables are softened, and the meat is fully cooked.
Season the Mixture:
Stir in the taco seasoning, ensuring it’s evenly distributed. Add salt and pepper to taste. Allow the flavours to mingle for a few minutes by simmering the mixture.
Layer the Ingredients:
Transfer the meat mixture into a greased pie dish, spreading it evenly. Arrange the halved cherry tomatoes on top.
Add Cheese:
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the meat and tomato layer. The cheese will melt, resulting in a wonderfully gooey topping.
Prepare the Egg Mixture:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and sour cream until well combined. Pour the egg mixture over the meat and cheese layers.
Bake in the Oven:
Place the pie dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
Serve and Garnish:
Once done, remove the taco pie from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Slice it into wedges and serve with optional toppings such as avocado slices, chopped green onions, and salsa.
