Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 lb breakfast sausage and cook until browned and crumbled, about 5-7 minutes. Remove sausage and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In the same skillet, add 1 diced poblano pepper and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Return cooked sausage to skillet.

  4. Step 4: Warm 8 corn tortillas in a dry skillet. Spoon egg mixture onto each tortilla, top with 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and fold.
