Ingredients

Scale

Tortillas and Sausage

  • 4 small flour tortillas
  • 4 breakfast sausage patties

Eggs and Cheese

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Seasoning and Toppings

  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional toppings: diced avocado, salsa, jalapeños, green onions, hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Cook the Sausage: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the breakfast sausage patties until thoroughly browned and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  2. Prepare the Eggs: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the pan and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the whites set but the yolks remain soft, about 3-4 minutes. For firmer yolks, flip and cook another 1-2 minutes.
  3. Warm the Tortillas: While the eggs are cooking, warm the tortillas in a separate dry skillet or microwave until pliable and warm.
  4. Assemble the Tacos: Place one sausage patty on each tortilla. Top each with one egg and sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese. Allow the cheese to melt slightly.
  5. Add Toppings: Customize your tacos with optional toppings such as diced avocado, salsa, jalapeños, green onions, or hot sauce to taste.
  6. Serve: Fold the tortillas over the fillings and serve immediately while warm and fresh.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free option, substitute flour tortillas with corn or gluten-free tortillas.
  • Adjust the cooking time of eggs based on preferred doneness.
  • Add extra veggies like bell peppers or tomatoes for more nutrients and flavor.
  • This recipe can be doubled or tripled for larger groups.
  • Store leftover ingredients separately and assemble tacos fresh to maintain texture.
