Units
Scale
- 1 cup couscous
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 pound ground beef or turkey
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 avocados, sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 tablespoon red onion, finely chopped
- Juice of 1/2 lime
- 4 eggs
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil (for frying eggs)

Instructions
- Place couscous in a heatproof bowl. Pour boiling water over it, cover, and let sit for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground meat, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 6–8 minutes.
- In a small bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, lime juice, and a pinch of salt to make a quick salsa.
- In a separate pan, heat butter or oil and fry eggs sunny-side-up until whites are set and yolks are still runny.
- Assemble bowls: divide couscous into 4 bowls. Top with ground meat, avocado slices, tomato salsa, and a fried egg.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately.
Notes
- Substitute couscous with quinoa or rice for a gluten-free version.
- Use turkey for a leaner protein option.
- Top with hot sauce or feta for extra flavor.
