Description

A handheld Tex-Mex breakfast combining scrambled eggs, melty cheese, and vibrant avocado-tomato salsa. Balanced with jalapeño heat, smoked paprika depth, and the portability of flour tortillas—ready in 35 minutes for satisfying mornings or quick meals.


Ingredients

Scale

1 large avocado, diced
½ cup tomatoes, diced
1 small shallot, minced (2 tbsp)
1 garlic clove, minced
1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
1 tbsp lime juice
½ tsp salt (salt blend)
¼ tsp cumin, optional
¼ cup cilantro, chopped
4 large eggs
¼ tsp smoked paprika
½ lb (85g) plant-based spicy sausage
1 1/3 cups (6oz) Monterey Jack or mild cheddar cheese, shredded
4 x 10-inch flour tortillas
Vegetable oil, for greasing


Instructions

In a large bowl, combine avocado, tomatoes, shallot, garlic, jalapeño (if using), lime juice, ½ tsp salt, cumin (if using), and cilantro. Cover and refrigerate at least 10 minutes.
Whisk eggs in a separate bowl with smoked paprika and ¼ tsp salt. Set aside.
Heat 1 tsp vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high. Cook plant-based sausage until browned (4-5 minutes). Remove with a slotted spoon.
Reduce heat to low. Add eggs to the same pan and scramble until just set (2-3 minutes). Return sausage to the pan, mix, and stir in shredded cheese until melted.
Warm tortillas in a dry skillet for 10-15 seconds per side. Spread ½ cup salsa down the center of each tortilla, add 1 cup egg-vegetable mixture, fold tightly, and serve.

Notes

Omit jalapeño for milder flavor
Replace cilantro with parsley if unavailable
Use neutral oil (coconut or canola work best)
Swaps: Spicy plant-based sausage instead of traditional
