1. Cook the Sausage and Eggs
In a large skillet, cook breakfast sausage on the stovetop on medium heat until browned and cooked, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, heat a separate pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and simmer, allowing to mostly melt. Make sure the butter coats the pan and up the sides. Then, pour in beaten eggs with house seasoning blend and use a wooden spoon, slotted spoon, or spatula to gently stir the eggs in the skillet until completely set but still shiny.
2. Fry the Tortillas
To fry corn tortillas, coat a small pan with about 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil. Allow to get sizzling hot, then quickly fry tortillas on each side until perfectly cooked. Fold while still warm.
3. Assemble the Tacos
Pat sausage dry with a paper towel to get rid of any grease, then fill a corn tortilla shell with approximately 2 tablespoons each of ground sausage and scrambled eggs. Top with about 2 teaspoons of queso fresco and a spoon of diced tomatoes, along with a little bit of cilantro.
