Smash Breakfast Tacos feature a crispy ground sausage crust cooked directly on tortillas, topped with melted cheddar and sunny side up eggs for a hearty, satisfying morning meal cooked on a griddle.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Sausage Tacos

  • 2 Tablespoons butter
  • 1 pound ground sausage
  • 1 ½ cups cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 4 soft tortillas, small taco size
  • 4 eggs

Instructions

  1. Prepare Toppings: Organize any additional toppings you desire for your tacos ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator if needed so they are ready to serve when the tacos are finished cooking.
  2. Preheat Griddle: Heat a Blackstone griddle or similar flat-top griddle to medium-high heat to create the perfect cooking surface for the tacos.
  3. Form Sausage on Tortillas: Divide the ground sausage into four equal portions. Spread one portion evenly and thinly over one side of each tortilla to cover it entirely, forming a sausage crust on each tortilla. Place the prepared tortillas on a tray until ready to cook.
  4. Cook Sausage Side: Melt half of the butter on the griddle and spread it evenly. Place the tortillas with the sausage side down onto the hot surface and cook for 3-4 minutes until the sausage is browned and cooked through.
  5. Flip and Add Cheese: Flip each taco over carefully, and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese inside each taco. Cook for an additional 3 minutes or until the sausage reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the cheese melts.
  6. Remove Tacos: Once cooked through and cheese is melted, remove the tacos from the griddle and set aside.
  7. Cook Eggs: Melt the remaining butter on the griddle and crack the eggs onto the surface. Cook them to your preferred doneness; sunny side up is recommended for best results.
  8. Assemble Tacos: Place one cooked egg on top of each sausage and cheese taco, then fold the taco in half to enclose the filling.
  9. Serve: Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your deliciously crispy and savory Smash Breakfast Tacos.

Notes

  • Use a food thermometer to ensure sausage reaches 165°F for safe consumption.
  • For extra flavor, add diced onions, salsa, or avocado as toppings.
  • Sunshine or over-easy eggs can be substituted as preferred.
  • Small, soft tortillas work best for folding and handling.
  • Butter adds richness and helps prevent sticking on the griddle.
