# Steps:
01 -
If you're freezing these, wrap each one with parchment and let it cool to keep it from getting mushy.
02 -
Grab a tortilla, load about 175 g filling near the bottom, pull the lower flap over it, tuck in the sides, then roll it up tight so it stays together.
03 -
Toss the cooked sausage back in with the eggs and veggies, sprinkle over taco seasoning, give it all a good stir, then take the pan off the heat and add the shredded cheese.
04 -
Tip the beaten eggs in the pan and slowly push them around over medium heat until they're just cooked and still look a bit shiny.
05 -
Pop in the chopped garlic, stir it for just half a minute till it smells great.
06 -
Drop butter or olive oil into the same pan, cook your onion and red pepper until they look soft, around five minutes.
07 -
Preheat a big non-stick pan to medium, toss in the sausage and break it up while it cooks for 8–10 minutes. Take it out but keep the drippings in there.
08 -
Heat tortillas for a bit in a dry skillet or use a microwave, just until they're loose and bendy so you won't tear them later.
09 -
Chop up your onion and red pepper. Crack your eggs into a big bowl, splash in the milk, add some salt and pepper, and whisk it all up smooth.
# Notes:
01 -
Let your filling cool off before you wrap so the tortillas don't get soggy.
02 -
Heating up your tortillas first really helps you roll them without cracks.
03 -
Don't stuff too much filling or you'll have trouble closing them and fillings might spill out.
