Key Ingredients

6 small tortillas – I used organic sourdough tortillas. Use gluten free if needed
1 lb spicy breakfast sausage – I used Pederson Farms sustainably sourced. Feel free to sub ground chicken or turker
5 eggs, scrambled softly
For Topping
Fresh Pico
Avocado
Cilantro
Chipotle Lime Crema
- 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
- 1 chipotle in adobo sauce, diced, or 1-2 tbsp adobo sauce
- 1 tbsp fresh lime zest
- 1/2 tsp lime zest
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
- pinch of sea salt

Process

Divide your ground sausage or meat of choice into 6 rounds
Flatten them all the way, and top them with a tortilla
Add to a pre-heated skillet and cook about 7 minutes, until fully browned
Use a paper towel to dab away any excess grease
Layer your smash tacos with soft scrambled eggs and toppings of choice
For the Creama- simply whisk everything together and taste/adjust to desired level of spiciness. Can add 1-2 tbsp water to make it thinner
These do reheat fine. Store the tacos in the fridge without any toppings. Reheat on a skillet for 1-2 minutes, or microwave and then top them

These babies are jam packed full of flavor! I didn’t expect to love them as much as I did. I definitely can’t wait to eat my leftovers tomorrow!
