This Breakfast Tacos Recipe is a great way to start the day with sausage, scrambled eggs, and hashbrowns in just 20 minutes.
Breakfast Tacos
I've never met a breakfast taco I didn't like. They're like a little brother to the big and hearty breakfast burrito. To me tacos are comfort food.
As a Wild Game Chef, I'm always experimenting and trying to find more ways to use my favorite Breakfast Sausage recipe, so I almost always have some thawed out in my refrigerator. What better way to use some of that deer, elk, or antelope than to kick start your morning with breakfast tacos! And it's another great reason to try my Homemade Taco Seasoning.
Breakfast Taco Ingredients
This breakfast tacos recipe starts with a few simple ingredients.
- Venison Breakfast Sausage, of course! This helps create a protein-packed breakfast.
- Taco Seasoning – This homemade taco seasoning is free of preservatives and sugar.
- Olive oil – For cooking the hashbrowns and then the eggs. Avocado oil works too!
- Hashbrowns - These cook quickly in the pan at the same time as the sausage.
- Eggs - even more protein!
- Tortillas – I prefer my sister-in-law's homemade tortillas, but flour tortillas are fine.
- Tomato - I used a chopped Beefsteak tomato, but you can use Roma or even cherry tomatoes.
- Shredded cheddar cheese or a Mexican cheese blend – I really can't enjoy a taco without cheese.
- Your favorite salsa – Serve it alongside your breakfast tacos for a little more spice!
How to Make Breakfast Tacos
1. Add taco seasoning to the sausage and combine well to incorporate.
2. Then cook sausage on one side of a large non-stick pan or well-seasoned cast iron skillet over medium high heat until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes.
3. At the same time, add olive oil and hashbrowns to the other side of the pan and cook until nicely browned on the bottom, then flip over and brown on the other side. It should take about 5 minutes per side. Remove sausage and hashbrowns from pan and transfer to a large plate.
4. In a medium bowl, whisk eggs with sour cream, salt, and pepper.
5. Add the egg mixture and butter to the already greased pan and cook slowly, scraping them up with a high-temp silicone spatula until most of the liquid has thickened and the eggs are soft, about 4 minutes.
6. At the same time you are cooking the eggs, place tortillas in a toaster until warmed through. If you have a gas stove, you could also grill over the gas flame on the stove top using tongs.
7. Fold the warm fluffy eggs into warmed tortillas, top with sausage, crumbled hashbrowns, diced tomato, a sprinkle of cheese and any additional toppings like baby spinach and that salsa. Eat immediately!
Breakfast Tacos Recipe Variations
I love this breakfast tacos recipe, but like every recipe on this website, I want you to feel free to make it your own. Customize it with your favorite toppings. Here are some ideas to get you started:
- Add veggies. Sauté some diced bell pepper or mushrooms and toss them with the scrambled eggs.
- Add guacamole. If you are like my wife, you are going to need guacamole on your breakfast tacos.
- Add even more protein. Add some black beans or refried beans to the mix.
- Pickle it! Top those tacos with pickled red onions or pickled jalapenos.
