INGREDIENTS
-
- 6 ounces Ground Beef (80% Lean / 20% Fat)
- 1/2 cup Green Chili Peppers (Canned)
- 1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Chili Powder
- 1/4 tsp Cumin
- 1/4 tsp leaf Oregano
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
- 4 slices Canadian Bacon
- 4 large Eggs (Whole)

DIRECTIONS
The directions for this dish call for scrambled eggs, but you can also serve them fried or poached.
- In a greased medium skillet, brown the beef over medium heat.
- Stir in chiles, garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt and pepper. Cook 5-10 minutes to blend the flavors.
- Lay the Canadian bacon slices over the top of the beef mixture to warm. Remove pan from heat and set aside.
- In another skillet, scramble eggs until firm. This can also be a good use of an electric griddle or skillet. Alternatively, pan fry each egg and place it on top of the beef mixture in step 5.
- Place 1 piece of Canadian bacon on each plate, top with a quarter of the beef mixture and a quarter of the eggs. Sprinkle with cheese and chopped cilantro
