- Preheat a cast iron skillet to MEDIUM-HIGH heat (either on the grates or side burner if you have one). **You may need to add a bit of oil to your skillet depending on how seasoned it is**
- Break up the sausage meat. Add to the hot skillet. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring often.
- Drain out any excess moisture or excess fat from the pan. Add the onions and peppers. Cook for an additional 5 minutes (or until meat is cooked).
- Add the beaten eggs, salt and pepper. Cook stirring often until your desired doneness.
Remove from heat and keep warm until tortillas are ready.
FOR THE TORTILLAS
- Heat grill to MEDIUM-HIGH.
- Place the tortillas on the hot grates.
- Cook for about 30 seconds then rotate 45º and cook additional 30 seconds.
- Flip and repeat on the other side, be careful not to burn them.
- Place the warm shells in a taco holder for easier filling.
Garnish with your desired toppings!
RECIPE VARIATIONS
Use any variety of sausage meat you like. Chicken, pork, lamb, hot italian, mild italian… whatever your preference! I used Maple Chipotle-flavoured sausages and they were fantastic. Any flavour of shredded cheese will work here. You can even use feta. For this recipe I used Tex-Mex. For some added spice, try things like Sriracha sauce, hot ketchup, hot sauce or a variety of salsas. If you want to add more onions and pepper to the mixture, go ahead. I used spinach, but feel free to use lettuce, kale or even arugula, if you prefer.
This recipe was cooked all in one pan. You can cook the eggs and meat separately if you like.
ENJOY!
