  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs lean ground chicken (or turkey)
  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning (or homemade blend)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 bell peppers (red & yellow), diced
  • 1 poblano pepper, chopped
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, chopped into chunks
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 16 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk (optional, for fluffier eggs)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Toss the baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread them out on a baking sheet. Roast for 25–30 minutes.
  3. After the potatoes have roasted for 20 minutes, add the diced bell peppers, onion, and chopped poblano pepper for the last 10 minutes of roasting.
