Description

Delicious and easy Breakfast Tacos featuring fluffy scrambled eggs with salsa con queso, savory breakfast sausage, and fresh toppings like avocado, tomatoes, and green onions all wrapped in warm flour tortillas. Perfect for a quick and satisfying morning meal.


Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 8 eggs
  • ½ cup salsa con queso
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Sausage

  • 1 pound breakfast sausage

Tortillas and Toppings

  • 6-8 flour tortillas
  • 2 cups salsa, for dipping and/or topping
  • 2 avocados, sliced
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • ¼ cup green onions, sliced


Instructions

  1. Cook the breakfast sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the breakfast sausage while breaking it up with a spatula to create a fine crumble. Cook until fully browned and no longer pink. Once done, remove from heat and set aside.
  2. Make the scramble: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, salsa con queso, milk, salt, and ground black pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
  3. Cook the scramble: Pour the egg mixture into a preheated large skillet over medium heat. Let it cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds, then gently pull the edges inward with a rubber spatula, tilting the skillet to let uncooked egg flow underneath. Continue this folding and tilting until the eggs are fully cooked but still moist and fluffy.
  4. Assemble the tacos: Warm the flour tortillas if desired, then spoon the scrambled eggs and crumbled sausage onto each tortilla. Top with diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, and green onions. Serve with salsa on the side for dipping or drizzling over the tacos.

Notes

  • Storage Instructions: Before filling and topping the tortillas, allow the eggs and sausage to cool to room temperature. Store them in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze separately for up to 3 months.
  • If tacos are fully assembled, store in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; note they may become soggy.
  • Reheating: Reheat eggs and sausage separately in the microwave in 30-second intervals until warmed. Alternatively, bake covered at 300°F for 10-15 minutes. Assemble tacos fresh after reheating.
