FAQs

Can I make these tacos ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the sausage and scrambled eggs in advance and store them in the fridge. Just assemble the tacos and heat them up when ready to serve.

Can I use regular tortillas instead of keto tortillas?

If you’re not following a keto diet, you can substitute regular tortillas. However, the carb count will increase significantly.

Can I make these tacos spicier?

Yes! Increase the red pepper flakes or add a few slices of jalapeño to the filling for an extra spicy kick.

Can I use other types of cheese?

Absolutely! Feel free to substitute cheddar with mozzarella, pepper jack, or any cheese you prefer.

How can I make these tacos even more filling?

Add extras like avocado, sautéed mushrooms, or even a dollop of sour cream to make these tacos even more satisfying.

Can I use turkey sausage instead of regular sausage?

Yes, turkey sausage is a great alternative if you’re looking for a leaner option.

Can I freeze these tacos?

You can freeze the sausage and egg filling separately. When ready to eat, simply assemble the tacos and heat them. The tortillas may lose some of their crispness, but they will still be tasty.

Can I substitute the pico de gallo?

Yes, if you don’t have pico de gallo, you can use fresh salsa or even chopped tomatoes and onions for a similar flavor.

Can I make these tacos vegetarian?

Yes, substitute the breakfast sausage with a vegetarian sausage or simply use a combination of vegetables like bell peppers, spinach, and mushrooms for a veggie-filled alternative.

How can I adjust the texture of the scrambled eggs?

For fluffier scrambled eggs, add a little bit of cream or milk to the eggs before scrambling, or cook them over low heat while stirring gently.
