Ingredients
8 fajita-size low-carb whole wheat tortillas
1 lb. turkey or pork ground breakfast sausage
2 tsp. + 2 tsp. olive oil
1 red pepper, chopped into small pieces
1 green bell pepper, chopped into small pieces
10 eggs, beaten to combine yolks and whites
1 can
1/2 tsp. Spike
salt and fresh ground pepper to taste for seasoning eggs
1 cup Mexican 4 Cheese Blend + more for adding at the table if desired
sour cream for serving
salsa for serving
Green Tabasco Sauce, Cholula, or your favorite hot sauce for serving
Directions
Have the tortillas, beaten eggs, grated cheese, sour cream, salsa, and hot sauce ready when you start to cook because this comes together quickly and you want the tacos hot when you eat them. Heat 2 tsp. olive oil in a large frying pan; add the sausage and cook over medium-high heat, breaking apart as it cooks, until the sausage is cooked through and nicely browned. While sausage cooks, remove stem end and seeds from the red and green bell peppers and cut the peppers into small pieces. When sausage is cooked and browned, add the diced peppers and cook just until they’re starting to soften, about 3-4 minutes more. Either remove sausage mixture to a plate or heat the other 2 tsp. oil in a second pan to cook the eggs. Heat oil over medium and when it’s hot add eggs all at once. Use a turner to stir constantly and scrape the partially cooked egg from the bottom and edges of the pan while the eggs cook, stopping when the eggs are mostly firm, but still quite wet looking. When eggs are done, push them to one side and add the sausage-peppers mixture Gently combine the sausage, peppers, and eggs. Heat individual tortillas in the microwave Fill each tortilla with the sausage-peppers-egg mixture and top with about 2 tablespoons of grated cheese. Serve hot, with extra cheese, salsa, sour cream, and hot sauce of your choice to add at the table.
