Why I love these chicken sausage breakfast tacos
As many of you may know, breakfast hasn’t always been my thing, mostly because I’m not much of a morning person. But, since I met my husband, it something that I’ve been trying to cook more often. Not only because Marc loves it, but because it opens a whole new realm of possibilities in my kitchen.
I know breakfast burritos are much more common, but all that wrapping is just too much work for me. I want breakfast to be easy, and delicious. So I went with a breakfast taco instead. These breakfast tacos are stuffed with savory chicken sausages, fluffy eggs and creamy queso fresco. Then I’ve topped them off with some fresh pico de gallo.

How to make chicken sausage breakfast tacos
Make the pico. In a mixing bowl, combine pico de gallo ingredients and set aside. You can do this the night before if you would like, or use your favorite store bought.
Cook the sausage. With oil in a large skillet over medium high heat, add the sliced sausage and cumin. Stir occasionally to prevent the sausage from sticking, and cook for about 2-3 minutes or until the sausage is heated through.
Scramble the eggs. Whisk eggs with dairy free milk and pour mixture into the skillet with the sausage. Scrape down the side of the skillet and mix the eggs with the sausage as they cook. When the eggs have set, you can assemble the tacos.
Assemble the tacos. You get to do this however you want. I like to keep things simple in the morning, but really any of your usual taco toppings will work perfectly here. Add vegan sour cream, guacamole, hot sauce, or a dairy free cheese. Anything you want. They’re your tacos.
