Ingredients

  • 8 small flour tortillas I used Mission carb balance
  • 1 cup turkey sausage crumbles (114g)
  • 1/2 medium yellow onion (135g) finely diced
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1.5 cups egg whites (360g)
  • 1 tsp each: garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper or to taste
  • 3/4 cup 2% cheddar cheese (84g)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Spray a large skillet with cooking spray. Add the onions and sausage and saute for a minute or two.
  2. Whisk in the eggs, egg whites, seasonings, salt and pepper. Stir frequently until eggs are cooked. Then fold in the shredded cheese at the end. Taste and add more salt or seasonings to taste.
  3. Add 1/8 of the mixture (105g) to each tortilla.
  4. Optional step: Spray a clean skillet with cooking spray and sear each side of the taco for 1-2 minutes to give it a nice char, make the tortilla firmer and hold it in place better.
  5. Serve with salsa, guac or your favorite sauce and enjoy!

Notes

  • To make gluten-free: use gluten-free tortillas. 
  • To make dairy-free: use dairy-free cheese.
  • To store: Let tacos cool completely. Then wrap tightly in foil and place them in a freezer safe zip lock bag. Remove as much air as possible to prevent freezer burn. Freeze for up to 1 month. Refrigerate for up to a week.
  • To Reheat: Let sit in the fridge overnight (if frozen). Reheat tacos in the air fryer at 350 F for 3-4 minutes or reheat in a covered skillet until warm.
