Instructions

Preheat oven to 375F.
Prepare 2 batches of Taco Meat (which will be 2 pounds) and mix in the jalapeño peppers and garlic to cook along with the beef. Drain well and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, chipotle ranch, cream cheese, cilantro and heavy cream for 2 minutes. Pour in the taco meat mixture and the tomatoes in the bowl with the egg mixture, and mix until well combined. Pour into a 9 x 13 casserole baking dish that’s been sprayed with non-stick spray.
Top with the shredded cheese and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is slightly golden. Allow to cool slightly before serving with shredded lettuce, tomato, jalapeño peppers, sliced black olives, diced avocado and sour cream.

Notes

Cooking time includes preparing the taco meat. If you already have your own taco meat prepared, the casserole only takes 25-30 minutes to bake.
Macros do not include optional toppings. Be sure to adjust according to the toppings you choose to use.
