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
Additional Taco Ingredients
- 6-8 flour tortillas
- 2 cups salsa, for dipping and/or topping the tacos
- 2 avocados, sliced
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- ¼ cup green onions, sliced
Instructions
- Cook the sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the breakfast sausage while breaking it up with a spatula to create a crumbled texture. Cook until no longer pink and fully browned. Remove from heat and set aside, or cook simultaneously with eggs in a second skillet to keep food warm for serving.
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the 8 eggs, ½ cup salsa con queso, ¼ cup milk, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground black pepper until fully combined.
- Cook the scrambled eggs: Pour the egg mixture into a large skillet over medium heat. Allow it to cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds, then use a rubber spatula to gently pull the edges towards the center while tilting the skillet to expose uncooked egg to the heat. Repeat this process until all the eggs are softly set and cooked through.
- Assemble the tacos: Warm the flour tortillas. Stuff each tortilla with some of the scrambled eggs and cooked sausage. Top with diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, and green onions. Serve with additional salsa on the side for dipping or drizzling.
Notes
- Storage Instructions: Refrigerate eggs and sausage separately in airtight containers for up to 4 days. If tacos are assembled, store for up to 2 days but expect sogginess over time.
- Freezing: Freeze cooked eggs and sausage separately in freezer-safe containers for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge before reheating. Do not freeze assembled tacos as they will not thaw well.
- Reheating: Microwave eggs and sausage separately in 30-second intervals until hot. Alternatively, bake covered in a 300°F oven for 10–15 minutes until heated through before assembling tacos.
