Make-Ahead & Freezer Tips

- 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.
