Ingredients
Sausage and Tortillas
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 8 (4 to 6 inch) flour tortillas
Eggs and Toppings
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 5 large eggs, beaten with 1 tablespoon water
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 3 green onions, sliced
- Hot sauce to taste
- Everything bagel seasoning
Instructions
- Spread sausage: Evenly spread a layer of breakfast sausage over each flour tortilla, making sure to reach the edges. Set the tortillas aside while preparing the eggs.
- Cook scrambled eggs: Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the beaten eggs seasoned with salt and pepper. Stir frequently and cook until the eggs are just set but still soft. Keep the eggs warm until assembly.
- Griddle the tortillas: Preheat a griddle or large skillet to medium-high heat. Working in batches if necessary, place the tortillas sausage-side down on the griddle. Cook undisturbed for about 4 minutes until the sausage browns and is cooked through. Flip the tortillas and cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Assemble the tacos: Fold each tortilla in half. Top each with a generous portion of scrambled eggs, shredded cheddar cheese, sliced avocado, and green onions.
- Add final touches: Drizzle hot sauce over the taco fillings to taste and sprinkle everything bagel seasoning on top. Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- Use medium heat to avoid burning the sausage layer while ensuring it cooks through.
- Feel free to substitute cheddar with your favorite melting cheese like Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack for a bit of spice.
- Adjust the amount of hot sauce according to your preferred spice level.
- These tacos are best served fresh but can be reheated gently in a skillet or microwave.
- For a gluten-free option, swap flour tortillas with corn tortillas if desired.
