  • 12 butter lettuce leaves
  • ½ cup diced cherry tomatoes
  • ¼ cup finely chopped cilantro
  • 2 medium avocados (skin and pit removed, flesh sliced thin or diced)

Instructions

  • Crack 8 eggs directly into medium mixing bowl. Season with plenty of salt and black pepper to taste. Whisk ingredients together vigorously until eggs are no longer streaky and mixture is pale in color. Set eggs aside.
  • Heat large skillet over medium heat. Place paper towels in medium bowl and set aside.
  • Add ground pork, dried sage, salt, black pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, and ground clove to large mixing bowl. Use hands to mix ingredients together until fully incorporated. Be careful not to overmix or sausage will be dense and tough.

  • Once sausage is cooked, drain grease into appropriate container and discard or save for other uses. Transfer cooked sausage crumbles to bowl lined with paper towels and set aside.
  • Return skillet to heat and reduce heat to medium. Add 1 tablespoon avocado oil and swirl pan to fully coat bottom with oil. Warm skillet over medium heat until oil is hot and shimmery.
  • Once oil is hot, pour whisked egg mixture into skillet and reduce heat to medium-low. Let eggs sit undisturbed until edges are just set.
  • Once edges of eggs begin to set, use silicone spatula to gently push egg mixture from one side of skillet to other. Allow egg mixture to settle, then repeat from opposite side of skillet. Continue folding egg mixture into itself until eggs are cooked through to desired doneness. Remove skillet from heat and set aside.

Recipe Notes

  • Letting the scrambled egg mixture rest in the mixing bowl is optional, but encouraged. Salting the eggs and giving them time to absorb the salt makes the eggs creamy, tender, and moist.
  • Make-Ahead or Meal Prep: Prepare all components of the breakfast tacos ahead of time. Refrigerate the crumbled sausage separately from the scrambled eggs, and store both separately from the prepared toppings. When ready to eat, reheat the sausage and the eggs in the microwave, then assemble desired number of tacos and serve. Components will keep up to 3 days if refrigerated in airtight containers.
