If you’re craving a savory, filling breakfast or brunch packed with flavor, this Chipotle Taco Breakfast Skillet Bake is here for you! It’s grain free, dairy free, Paleo, Whole30 friendly, and perfect for any time of day.
Another savory breakfast coming at-cha at lightening speed. It’s quick and delicious, packed with nutrients, and a legit excuse to eat taco meat for breakfast. Throw a margarita in there too – no one will guess if you’re hiding it in a travel mug, right?
Just kidding – I don’t support drinking margaritas in the morning because they don’t contain any caffeine. However, I do support eggs baked into chipotle chili seasoned taco meat with veggies, avocado slices, more chipotle salsa, and PLANTAINS! Followed by coffee, because let’s face it, Paleo or not we still need our coffee.
Just one more reason to hug my coffee really, really tight right now is that winter has finally arrived. A little bit of snow, blustery winds and I’m thinking there might be a few mornings in the near future where the only outdoor running I’ll do is through the gym parking lot. Just in time to officially start marathon training, of course. And also just in time for the Fred Lebow Half Marathon this weekend – which isn’t looking so good at this point at all (even though I’m not supposed to look!)
Meredith and I are texting back and forth about the potential for snow, and right now it looks like 5-8 inches into Saturday and 1-3 into Sunday (race day.) I’m starting to think I’m the one bringing bad weather-luck to these races – first the rainstorm and now the first big snowstorm of the season? Is it too early to tell? This is why I need to NOT look until at least Thursday.
Nothing but saucy eggs and spicy meat to comfort me now. And that’s okay by me. It’s a cozy sort of day and I don’t need to think about running or snow right now. Adam is home, the kids are home (and not fighting), and my house is still clean. Life is very good, very happy, really chill today. There’s time to breathe, time to blog, and time to cook without major multitasking – which always makes the food taste better – no matter how simple it is. Probably a good life lesson, one that I’m always working on. One thing at a time, and quality over quantity – why are these hard concepts for me?
Something to think about while I’m happily drowning in my Chipotle Taco Breakfast Bake and crispy-soft fried sweet plantains!
Chipotle Taco Breakfast Skillet Bake
Chipotle Taco Breakfast Skillet Bake {Paleo & Whole30}
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup chopped onions
- 1 tbsp coconut oil or ghee for cooking
- 1/3 lb grass fed ground beef
- 1/8 tsp chipotle chile pepper
- 1/8 tsp Mexican chili powder
- 1/8 tsp cumin
- 1/8-1/4 tsp sea salt to taste
- Large handful fresh spinach chopped
- Small handful cherry tomatoes quartered
- 2 eggs
- Sea salt to season eggs
- Half an avocado sliced, for garnish
- Chipotle salsa for topping or your favorite salsa
Instructions
-
Prior to beginning, mix together the spices and sea salt in a very small bowl.
-
Heat a small-medium oven proof skillet (cast iron is ideal) over medium heat and preheat your oven to 400 degrees
-
Melt the cooking fat in skillet and add the chopped onions, stir and cook until soft.
-
Sprinkle the ground beef into the pan and add the spice mixture, stir to combine and brown the meat.
-
Once the meat is nearly browned, lower the heat and add the spinach and tomatoes, stir to combine.
-
Remove from heat and create spaces in the mixture to add the eggs. Carefully crack each egg into the pan one at a time, and sprinkle with sea salt.
-
Put the skillet in the oven and bake for 10 minutes or until the eggs are cooked to preference.
-
Top with sliced avocado and chipotle salsa to serve - this will serve 1-2 depending on portion sizes.
-
I highly recommend serving with my fried sweet plantains as well!
Are you a multi-tasker? When was the last time you slowed down?
Are you a fan of smoky Chipotle flavor? I can’t get enough!
I am monitoring the weather right now. Channel 7 won’t give amounts and I caught him say there could be chance it passes and also something about a rain snow line. I doubt it based on the other forecasts but who knows! I will try not to pay attention until Thursday although I think we need to stock up the groceries for a snowed in weekend lol. My son would love this recipe! Please cook for him.
It’s looking like less today than it did last night! I guess the forecast is still changing. Doesn’t look good though even considering. If I can physically get to the city on Sunday morning, I’ll run the race.
Yum! I love chipotle. My Mom actually was supposed to leave to return to WI tomorrow and rescheduled her flight because it is so crazy cold. She doesn’t do well in cold climates with her RA which is why she stays part of the winter with me.
That’s nice that she has you to stay with! The cold is here to stay for at least a week I think, not looking forward to the snow.
Nice pictures.
Also you could totally pair this with a mimosa since it has OJ in it. 🙂
Good point 😉
I am definitely a multi-tasker! I have sort of slowed down while on vacation but clearly I am still up at 6am blogging… i can’t believe that its supposed to snow for your race this weekend! Hoping that forecast changes!
Ahh yes, the 6am blog commenting begins the day of multitasking for me! And I feel like the weather forecast is a joke considering all the bad weather I’ve had for races over the past year. I don’t even sign up for that many! I’m really hoping it shifts and I can at least get myself into the city Sunday morning.
Lady you would have straight up dieeeed over the plantains in Meico. One fo the nights, I made tacos for everyone at home and cooked plantains and they were so sweet that you could eat them raw like bananas!
Oh man I want those plantains!
Multi tasking is legit the bane of my existence. I -know- that you get more things done if you just focus on doing one thing at a time, but I still can’t stop myself from trying to do ALL the things anyways. I blame the internet 😆
I know, I have no self control when it comes to trying not to multitask, it sometimes feels impossible not to!
Chipotle is great, but really chilis of any kind are good with me! Hope the weather forecast improves for this weekend 🙂
I have a feeling it might, but that could just be hope?
Possibly. But…2 years before the Dublin marathon, torrents of rain were predicted for the day…never came. Not a drop 🙂 You never know!
It’s going to be wait and see, hard to tell what it will look like the day of!
You’re torturing me! i want eggs and plantains. haha. Both on my no no lists for another week. Kidding though, this looks amazing as usual
I didn’t realize you couldn’t have plantains either 🙁 Hopefully you get some answers from the elimination though!
I’m getting tired of my sweet potato hash and eggs every day, so I ‘ll have to give this a try! Looks delicious 🙂
Some spice and sweet plantains will make the Whole30 more fun!
Oh my goodness this sounds so so good!! I could definietly eat this for breakfast on repeat 🙂
Thanks! And you can adjust the spices/salsa to whatever you want – perfection!
I love smoky chipotle flavor! My favorite version of Tabasco sauce is the Chipotle version 😀 This looks amazing. Eggs and Mexican flavors – what more could you want?
Thanks! I’m an egg lover so I think eggs go with everything – but this – tons of yum!
I tried fried plantains for the first time the other day. Not really my thing, I’m afraid. But I have been trying to experiment with veggies for breakfast. Spinach and tomatoes are nice, mild options.
We’ve been snowed in here in Colorado, too. It’s beautiful, but can put a damper on one’s plans!
Were they sweet plantains or green? Just curious because even my kids and husband are obsessed with them! And luckily this will be the first time we’re getting snow this winter, but just bad timing.
Smoky chipotle everything! (i.e. smoked paprika lover here!)
We are praying for no snow too….fingers crossed :/
Love my smoked paprika 🙂 And just overall bad timing with the snow, ugh!
Ahh! Yes, yes yes. That’s all I have to say.
Haha! A good thing I think!
Looks amazing! I love the combination of flavors going on! Good luck with the training 🙂
Thanks! Great flavors and just the right amount of spice for me 🙂
Wow looks great. This looks like a good winter morning breakfast to me!
Thanks! And yup a little heat is perfect for winter mornings 🙂
I love chipotles! And I also love that you don’t do margaritas in the morning because they don’t have caffeine, lol, so awesome 🙂
Haha we need our caffeine!
Hi Michelle,
I don’t usually comment on blogs but I made this for breakfast today and let tell you it was fabulous! So delicious and easy too. My husband and I loved it. I made it with turkey meat as we don’t eat beef and it was really good.
Awesome! Thanks for letting me know! So thrilled you liked it 🙂
This was so good! We are in re-entry phase of our Whole30, and I tried this today. My husband claims this as his favorite Whole30 breakfast, and he’s not even a fan of tomatoes or spinach! And it reminds me of mission trips I’ve taken in Mexico and Latin America. Your apple sweet potato bake also saved us late week 3 when we were sooooooo sick of eggs. I’ll definitely be checking out this site for more healthy recipes. Thanks for making healthy eating easier!
Great! So happy you liked it. And the sweet potato bake! I have a similar recipe coming up next weekend that I think you’ll love 🙂

There are countless in people who are trying to find profitable sport betting picks everyday
and some of these lose money and some ones win money.
In 2005, Sanchez wrestled for his senior high school
in New Mexico before starting training MMA with Greg Jackson at Jackson’s Submission Fighting which can be regarded
as the most effective MMA trainer in the world. However, before getting all pumped up about
the limits in betting being reduced, remember why it was done
within the first place and re-evaluate chances of the game with one teams having fun with
injured players.
Do not fall around the trap of lucrative offers of
some deceitful companies. Your sports betting strategy could
be the Paroli system or it could possibly be
the Martingale system. Systems that tend to be short lived
are known as “trends” and single events that
often influence betting one of the ways or another are called “angles”.

Even the gambling houses offer more or less complete statistics from
the different events they provide, my recommendation is to talk
about these pages. Bottom Line: Remember Diego Sanchez was
a format member with the Greg Jackson team and Jackson what
food was in the corner when GSP fought Penn so Sanchez will fight the same
fight that St Pierre fought. Systems that are generally over quickly these are known as “trends” and single events that tend to
influence betting one way or the other these are known as “angles”.
