These Sausage and Egg Breakfast Tacos are an easy breakfast recipe that’s ready in 30 minutes. They’re perfect for busy mornings.
You really can’t go wrong with tacos right? So why not make breakfast tacos? Sausage and eggs in a fried corn tortilla and topped with cheese and cilantro. Doesn’t that sound amazing! We had a bunch of leftover fried tortillas from our Pineapple Pork Carnitas dinner so I figured we could use the tortillas for breakfast the next morning.
Breakfast burritos are always a favorite and this breakfast taco uses many of the same ingredients. My favorite part might be the fried taco shells. I’ve always been a sucker for those warm crispy tortilla shells. I prefer to use corn tortillas for these rather than flour. They are the perfect size for breakfast and you have a good ratio of filling to tortilla with corn. Flour would give you way too much tortilla but it really is all up to you.
My favorite way to top these is with a little bit of queso freso, cilantro, and tomato. If your tastes bend towards salsa or pico de gallo you could always do that as well. My hubby loves topping his with guacamole. My favorite part is you can make up a bunch of all the ingredients and eat a few at a time throughout the week.
I’m a big fan of making one kind of recipe to eat throughout the week like Banana Cranberry Muffins or Tropical Granola. There’s so many different varieties of breakfast options and I love that there are a great variety of recipes to make.
