Ingredients

  • 2 pounds taco meat see my recipe
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 6 whole eggs beaten
  • 4 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
  • ⅓ cup Chipotle ranch dressing
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes diced (about 8 cherry tomatoes)
  • 2 Jalapeno peppers minced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • Optional Toppings: Shredded lettuce chopped fresh tomatoes, sliced black olives, diced avocado, sour cream

Instructions

    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 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.
