   In a bowl, whisk eggs with salt and pepper.
3. Scramble
   Pour eggs into the skillet with the sausage drippings. Cook on medium-low, stirring until softly set but still glossy. Remove from heat (they’ll finish cooking off the burner).

Make-Ahead & Freezer Tips

• To Freeze: Wrap each taco in a paper towel, then foil. Store in a freezer bag for up to 2 months.
• To Reheat: Remove foil, keep wrapped in paper towel, and microwave for 45–60 seconds until hot.
• Batch Tip: Cook sausage and eggs in bulk, then cool slightly before assembling tacos so tortillas don’t get soggy.

Variations

• Veggie Boost: Add sautéed peppers, onions, or spinach to the egg mixture.
• Spicy Kick: Stir diced jalapeños or hot sauce into the eggs before scrambling.
• Meat Swap: Use bacon, ham, or chorizo instead of sausage.
• Cheese Options: Pepper Jack, Monterey Jack, or queso fresco are all delicious.
