1
Sauté the Onions
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it is soft and caramelized, about 10 minutes.
2
Cook the Beef
Add the ground beef to the skillet with the caramelized onions. Cook until the beef is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
3
Season the Mixture
Add minced garlic, cumin, salt, and black pepper to the beef and onion mixture. Stir well and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
4
Add Hard-Boiled Eggs
Chop the hard-boiled eggs and fold them into the cooled beef mixture. Set aside.
