Ingredients
- 8 oz ground sausage
- 6 large eggs
- 2 Tbsp half and half
- salt and pepper to taste
- 6 small tortillas flour or corn
- Taco toppings of choice
Instructions
- Cook the meat. In a pan, cook the ground sausage and break it up with a meat chopper. Once cooked, remove the meat from the skillet and transfer it to a serving dish, and cover to keep warm.
- Prepare eggs. In a bowl, whisk the eggs, half-and-half, and seasoning.
- Cook. Add the egg mixture to the same pan and cook until scrambled and cooked through. Add the eggs to a serving dish and cover to keep warm.
- Heat tortillas. Warm the tortillas in a pan, then add them to a dish and cover with a damp paper towel to keep them from going stale.
- Toppings. Arrange all of the toppings alongside your eggs, protein, and tortillas.
- Serve and enjoy, friends!
Notes
- Warm the tortillas. Heating the tortillas before serving makes a big difference. Warm tortillas are softer, more flavorful, and less likely to tear when filled.
- Cook the eggs gently. Scramble the eggs just until they're set, keeping them soft, fluffy, and delicious.
- Load up on toppings. Fresh toppings like avocado, salsa, cilantro, tomatoes, and cheese add extra flavor, texture, and color to every taco.
- Storage. For the freshest leftovers, store the eggs, meat, tortillas, and toppings separately in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Reheat. Warm the eggs and sausage in a skillet over low heat, and heat fresh tortillas before assembling your tacos.
