Egg Nest Taco Bowl

Ingredients

  • 1/2 lb grass-fed ground beef (or ground turkey, chicken, or mushrooms for vegetarian)
  • 1 cup cauliflower rice
  • 2 cups power greens or spinach
  • 1 pasture-raised egg
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 2-3 tbsp hot sauce (I love Siete traditional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • For serving: sliced avocado with chile limón seasoning
  • For serving: grain-free tortilla chips (Siete nacho flavor is my favorite)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat avocado oil in a skillet over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Add cauliflower rice and ground beef to the pan.

  3. 3

    Season with hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Sauté until the beef is browned and cauliflower is tender, about 8-10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add power greens to the pan and stir until just wilted.

  5. 5

    Use a spoon to create a well (or "nest") in the center of the mixture.

  6. 6

    Crack the egg directly into the center of the nest.

  7. 7

    Cover the pan with a lid and cook until the egg is done to your liking—about 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk, longer for a firmer egg.

  8. 8

    Transfer to a bowl and serve with chile limón avocado slices and grain-free tortilla chips.

Cory's Notes

This is one of my favorite quick, satisfying meals. The "egg nest" technique is a game-changer—you get a complete meal cooked in one pan with minimal cleanup. For vegetarian, swap the ground beef for chopped mushrooms and cook the same way. I recommend pasture-raised eggs (like Vital Farms) for the best flavor and nutrition. The runny yolk acts as a sauce that brings everything together!
