  • 1 medium yellow onion diced
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 tbsp taco seasoning
  • 3/4 cup salsa
  • 1 4 oz can green chilis
  • 1 tbsp avocado or olive oil
  • 1/4 cup canned coconut milk or heavy cream
  • 1/2-1 cup Mexican shredded cheese

Avocado Ranch

  • 1 small avocado pitted
  • 2 tbsp ranch seasoning
  • 1-2 tsp apple cider or white wine vinegar
  • 1-2 tbsp coconut milk canned unsweetened

Instructions

Frittata

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
  • Stir in the salsa, green chilies and taco seasoning, cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or cream
  • Pour the egg mixture over the beef and vegetable mixture in the skillet. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top.
  • Bake for 20-25 or until the frittata is set.
  • Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
  • Serve the frittata warm, with a drizzle of avocado ranch and optional toppings such as avocado slices, cherry tomatoes, jalapenos, sour cream and chopped cilantro.

Avocado Ranch

  • In a food processor or blender, combine the avocado, Greek yogurt, ranch seasoning, milk and vinegar.
  • Blend until smooth and creamy. If the dressing is too thick, you can add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
  • Taste the dressing and season with salt and pepper as needed. Adjust any other seasonings to your liking.
  • Transfer the avocado ranch dressing to a jar or container with a tight-fitting lid. Store it in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

This will make a big batch of Avocado Ranch. Store the leftovers in the fridge for a couple of days. It may turn brown after that due to the avocado.
