Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or round baking pan.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions and garlic, sauté until softened, about 3 minutes.
Add ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain excess fat if needed.
Stir in chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes until spices are fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, sour cream, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese.
Spread the cooked beef mixture evenly into the prepared pie dish.
Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the beef, spreading gently to cover. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pie is set and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes, black olives, green onions, and sliced avocado.
Slice and serve warm.

Notes

Swap ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.

Add diced jalapeños or hot sauce for extra heat.

Use seasoned cauliflower rice or sautéed mushrooms for a vegetarian option.

Replace cheddar with pepper jack cheese for a spicier flavor.

Use coconut-based sour cream and cheese alternatives for a dairy-free version.

Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 4 days; reheat in microwave or oven.

Freeze individual slices wrapped in foil for longer storage; thaw overnight before reheating.
