"Okay. Now that we have our produce cut, we have our green onions, our yellow, green peppers, our lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, and cilantro, now we're ready to cook the meat. So what we're going to do first is start with the onions. A little bit of oil in a hot pan, onions. Then we'll brown off the meat and take it from there. So you want maybe two tablespoons of oil, and we'll add our onions. You always want to do the onions first. So we'll get there in there. We're going to brown off our onions. Once they're brown, then we're going to add our ground beef. Our onions are browned off nicely. They're translucent. Now, we will add the ground beef. Going to add the meat, just going to break it up. If you put the whole meatball in there, it's a different recipe. So we'll break the ground beef up. Then we're going to brown the meat up. As you're stirring it, continue to break the meat. Now, I'm not adding any seasonings at this time. What I like to do is brown the meat first. Then I pour off any excess grease. And once the grease is poured off, then I'll add the seasonings. A reason being if I season it now and then we pour the grease, we're pouring half our seasonings down the drain. So right now, no need for seasoning. We'll get the ground beef nicely browned, and we will season the beef. We'll add the remaining ingredients. Then we'll be ready to cook eggs."
