Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Small Skillet
  • Silicone Spatula
  • Tongs
  • Slotted Spoon
  • Chef's Knife

Ingredients
  

Breakfast Tacos

  • 16 count corn tortillas (street taco size)
  • 16 ounces ground breakfast sausage
  • 6 count eggs
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Topping Ideas

  • salsa
  • cotija cheese
  • fresh chopped cilantro
  • lime slices
  • refried beans
  • avocado slices
  • pickled jalapeños

Instructions

  • Start out by toasting your corn tortillas on both sides in a plain skillet on medium heat.
    Stack them on a plate and set aside.
  • Add the ground sausage to the same skillet.
    Cook on medium heat until the sausage is completely done, crumbling it into small pieces with a spatula.
  • Remove the sausage using a slotted spoon and set aside.
    Take a paper towel and remove most of the oil from the skillet - we'll cook the eggs in a little bit of the oil for flavor.
  • Crack your eggs in a bowl and add the water, salt and pepper. Whisk the eggs until smooth.
  • Turn the heat to low. Pour the eggs into the skillet and softly scramble. Remove the pan from heat.
  • Finally, assemble your tacos. Serve with fresh lime wedges and your preferred toppings (see above for some suggestions.) Enjoy!

Notes

The nutritional facts are calculated on the base tacos with a tortilla, chicken sausage, and egg. Your final amounts will vary based on the type of sausage used, as well as any additional toppings.
 
Storage Instructions:
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. I recommend reheating in the microwave or a toaster oven!
