Instructions
-
Prepare the tortillas
Warm the tortillas in a skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side. Alternatively, wrap them in foil and heat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes. Keep them warm by wrapping them in a clean kitchen towel. -
Cook the eggs
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add butter or oil. Pour in the egg mixture, stirring gently with a spatula until the eggs are soft and scrambled. Remove from heat to prevent overcooking. -
Prepare the protein
Cook the breakfast sausage or bacon according to the package instructions. For plant-based sausage, sauté it in a skillet until browned and heated through. Crumble or chop into small pieces for easy taco assembly. -
Assemble the tacos
Place a spoonful of scrambled eggs onto each tortilla, followed by the cooked sausage or bacon. Sprinkle with shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, onions, and avocado. -
Add toppings
Finish with a generous sprinkle of chopped cilantro and a drizzle of salsa or hot sauce. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top for a zesty finish. -
