Hearty Tex-Mex protein breakfast bowls featuring savory ground chicken, roasted vegetables, and fluffy scrambled eggs for a nutritious start to your day.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs lean ground chicken (or turkey)
  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning (or homemade blend)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 bell peppers (red & yellow), diced

  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 16 large eggs

  3. Cook the ground chicken with olive oil and the taco seasoning in a separate pan until browned.
  4. Whisk together the eggs with milk (if using) and scramble in a pan until just set.
  5. Divide the roasted veggies, cooked meat, and scrambled eggs into 8 containers.
  6. Top each bowl with optional salsa, cilantro, or cheese if desired.

For extra fluffy eggs, consider adding milk. Feel free to mix in seasonal vegetables or adjust protein accordingly.
