Ingredients

• 3 pieces large eggs
• 0.25 pound ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
• 0.25 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.5 piece avocado, diced
• 1 tablespoon heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon butter
• 1 teaspoon taco seasoning (sugar-free)
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
• 1 tablespoon sour cream (optional, for topping)
• 1 tablespoon salsa (optional, ensure it's sugar-free)

Directions

Step 1

In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking apart with a spatula, until browned, about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the beef, stirring to coat evenly. Add a splash of water if needed to incorporate the seasoning. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, then transfer the taco meat to a small bowl and set aside.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.

Step 4

In a nonstick skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture, tilting the skillet to ensure the eggs spread evenly.

Step 5

Let the eggs cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until they start to set, then use a spatula to gently lift the edges, allowing any uncooked egg to flow underneath.

Step 6

Once the omelet is mostly set but still slightly runny on top, evenly sprinkle the cheddar cheese over one half of the omelet.

Step 7

Add the seasoned taco beef on top of the cheese, followed by the diced avocado.

Step 8

Using a spatula, carefully fold the empty side of the omelet over the filled side to create a half-moon shape. Press gently to seal and cook for another 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese and fully set the eggs.

Step 9

Slide the omelet onto a plate and garnish with fresh cilantro, sour cream, and salsa if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Keto Taco Omelet!
