Ingredients
Scale
- small to medium-sized flour tortillas (about 6-8 inches)
- 6–8 large eggs
- splash of milk or cream
- ground beef breakfast sausage
- pinch of sage
- fennel seeds
- little maple syrup
- shredded Mexican blend cheese
- Monterey Jack cheese
- sharp cheddar cheese
- crumbled cotija or feta cheese (optional)
- diced bell peppers (any color)
- finely chopped onions
- sautéed spinach or mushrooms (optional)
- pre-cooked black beans (optional)
- roasted diced potatoes (optional)
- good quality salsa (mild or spicy)

- fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a large baking dish.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook your ground beef breakfast sausage until fully browned. Drain any excess grease and set aside.
- In the same skillet, sauté diced onions and bell peppers for about 5-7 minutes until softened. Add spinach in the last minute if using, then combine with the cooked beef.
- In a separate bowl, whisk eggs with a splash of milk or cream, salt, and pepper. Scramble in the skillet until just set but still moist.
- Warm tortillas briefly to make them pliable. Lay out a tortilla, sprinkle cheese, add beef, egg, and veggie mixture, and top with more cheese.
- Fold each tortilla into a taco shape and arrange snugly in the baking dish.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until tortillas are golden and cheese is melted.
- Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve with toppings like salsa, avocado, and sour cream.
