Ingredients

  • 12 whole breakfast sausage links
  • 1/2 teapsoon olive oil
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup green onions, finely sliced
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning blend
  • 12 small tortillas
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
  • non-stick cooking spray

Instructions

  • Add the olive oil to a large skillet, along with the sausage links.  Over medium heat, cook the sausages until browned on all sides.  This should take about 15 minutes.
  • In the meantime, preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Remove the sausages from the skillet and set aside.  Discard all of the oil left in the skillet, except about 1 tablespoon.
  • Whisk together the eggs, green onions, salt, ground black pepper, and taco seasoning.
  • Add the eggs to the skillet, with the remaining one tablespoon of oil from the cooked sausages, and over medium heat still, cook the eggs, stirring often.  The eggs should look like, and have the consistency of scrambled eggs when done.
  • Set the eggs aside to cool slightly.
  • Wrap the tortillas in aluminum foil and place on the middle rack in a preheated oven for 3-4 minutes.
  • Remove the tortillas from the oven. Spread the tortillas out on a clean surface, such as your kitchen counter, and evenly distribute the scrambled eggs into the center of each tortilla.
  • Position the mound of eggs so that they are in a straight line/mound directly through the middle of each tortilla.
  • Next, evenly distribute the cheese over the eggs.
  • Top each tortilla with a cooked breakfast sausage link.
  • Roll each tortilla tightly and place on a baking sheet which has been lined with aluminum foil.  Make sure the seam side of the tortilla is facing down.
  • Lightly coat the top of each tortilla with non-stick cooking spray and bake for 20 minutes or until the tortillas are golden brown.
  • Serve with salsa and sour cream. (Optional)
