Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 small flour tortillas
  • 4 breakfast sausage patties
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional Toppings

  • Diced avocado
  • Salsa
  • Jalapeños
  • Green onions
  • Hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Cook the Sausage: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the breakfast sausage patties and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until browned and fully cooked. Remove the sausages from the skillet and set them aside.
  2. Cook the Eggs: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Crack the eggs into the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook to your preferred level of doneness (fried, scrambled, or over-easy). Once cooked, remove the eggs and set aside.
  3. Prepare the Tortillas: Lower the heat to medium. Place one tortilla at a time in the skillet. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly on the tortilla and allow it to melt slightly, about 1 minute.
  4. Assemble and Smash: Place a cooked sausage patty on top of the melted cheese on the tortilla. Gently press the patty into the tortilla with a spatula to flatten or “smash” it for better texture and melt integration.
  5. Add the Egg: Place the cooked egg on top of the smashed sausage patty. Fold the tortilla in half over the filling.
  6. Cook the Taco: Continue cooking the folded taco on each side for about 1-2 minutes or until the tortilla turns golden brown and crispy.
  7. Repeat: Remove the taco from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining tortillas, cheese, sausage patties, and eggs.
  8. Serve: Serve the tacos warm topped with your choice of optional toppings such as diced avocado, salsa, jalapeños, green onions, or a drizzle of hot sauce.

Notes

  • Use small tortillas for best results; larger ones may be harder to flip without breaking.
  • You can substitute turkey or vegetarian sausage patties for a lighter or meat-free option.
  • To keep tacos warm, place them on a baking sheet in a low oven while finishing the others.
  • Feel free to customize toppings to suit your preferences or dietary needs.
  • Cooking eggs to your desired consistency adds a personal touch; scrambled eggs work great as well.
