How to Make Chicken Sausage Breakfast Tacos

You’ll be amazed at how simple these are to prepare! Here’s a breakdown of the ingredients and steps to help you make these flavorful breakfast tacos right in your own kitchen.

Ingredients

For the pico de gallo:

• 1/2 red onion, diced
• 1/2 green bell pepper, diced
• 2 tomatoes, seeded and roughly chopped
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 teaspoon lime juice
• 1/4 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste

For the tacos:

• 6 large eggs
• 1/4 cup dairy-free milk
• Salt & pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon cooking oil
• 5 oz. package Jones Dairy Farm chicken sausages, thawed and sliced
• 1/4 teaspoon cumin
• 8 flour tortillas

Instructions

1. Prepare the Pico de Gallo: In a large bowl, mix together the diced red onion, bell pepper, chopped tomatoes, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Set aside for later.
2. Whisk the Eggs: In another large bowl, whisk the eggs together with the dairy-free milk. Season liberally with salt and pepper, and set aside.
3. Cook the Sausage and Eggs: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken sausage slices and cumin, sautéing for about 2 minutes until the sausage is heated through. Next, pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are set and fluffy.
4. Assemble the Tacos: Warm the tortillas, and fill each one with the egg-sausage mixture. Top generously with your homemade pico de gallo, adding a splash of extra lime juice or cilantro if you want more brightness.

These breakfast tacos are great as they are, but feel free to add some shredded cheese, avocado slices, or even a drizzle of hot sauce for an extra kick.

Customizations and Variations

• Vegetarian Option: Skip the sausage and sauté some mushrooms and spinach for a plant-based alternative.
• Low-Carb Option: Swap the flour tortillas for lettuce wraps or low-carb tortillas to reduce the carbs while keeping all the flavor.
• Spicy Twist: Add some chopped jalapeños to your pico de gallo or a dash of cayenne pepper to your egg mixture for a spicy kick.

Serving Suggestions

These tacos are perfect on their own, but if you want to round out your breakfast, serve them with a side of roasted potatoes or fresh fruit. A tall glass of orange juice or a hot cup of coffee makes the meal complete.
