Method
 

Preheat and roast potatoes

Add peppers and onion
  1. Stir in bell peppers, onion, and poblano for the last ten minutes of roasting. Roast until veggies are soft and edges char.
Cook the ground chicken
  1. Heat oil in a skillet, add ground chicken, and season with taco seasoning. Cook until browned and cooked through.
Scramble the eggs
  1. Whisk eggs with a splash of milk. Cook in a nonstick pan over medium heat until softly set.
Assemble into containers

Notes

Use dry potatoes for crispness. Cut veggies evenly and season in layers for best flavor. Let food cool before sealing containers to reduce steam.
