Ingredients (Serves 4)
- 4 soft corn or flour tortillas
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 lb breakfast sausage (or chorizo, optional)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
- 1/4 cup diced tomatoes (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
- 1/4 cup diced avocado (optional)
- 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Salsa or hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
Cook the Sausage:
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage (or chorizo) until browned and cooked through, breaking it up into small crumbles as it cooks. Once done, drain any excess grease and set aside.
Scramble the Eggs:
- In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- In the same skillet (after removing the sausage), melt the olive oil or butter over medium-low heat.
- Pour in the eggs and gently scramble them, cooking for 2-3 minutes until soft and just set. Remove from heat.
Assemble the Tacos:
- Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for about 20 seconds until soft and pliable.
- Spoon some scrambled eggs onto each tortilla, followed by a generous amount of cooked sausage.
Top and Serve:
- Sprinkle shredded cheese over the hot eggs so it melts slightly. Add your choice of diced tomatoes, fresh cilantro, avocado, and a drizzle of salsa or hot sauce for extra flavor.
Enjoy:
- Fold the tortillas into tacos and serve immediately.
Tips for Success
- Customize Your Fillings: Feel free to swap out the sausage for bacon, ham, or vegetarian options like black beans or sautéed vegetables.
- Make It Spicy: Add jalapeños, a dash of hot sauce, or spicy salsa for an extra kick.
- Toppings Galore: Top with sour cream, salsa verde, or pickled onions for a different twist.
