    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 375F.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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 reflects taco meat preparation; with pre-made meat, bake casserole for 25-30 minutes only.
  • Macro counts exclude optional toppings; adjust as needed based on what you add.
