Cheesy Sausage Breakfast Tacos

Inspired by King David Tex-Mex style breakfast tacos, these are my family’s absolute favorite! Made with savory breakfast sausage, fluffy scrambled eggs, creamy refried beans, and melted cheddar cheese, these tacos are wrapped in soft flour tortillas and baked to perfection in foil.

Ingredients

16 ounce package breakfast pork sausage
1 dozen eggs
15 ounce can refried beans
10 8” flour tortillas
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
aluminum foil

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat, breaking it into crumbles with a spoon or spatula. Cook until the sausage is browned and sizzling in the skillet. Remove from skillet and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs until fully combined. Season with salt and pepper.
Pour egg mixture into the same skillet you cooked the sausage in over medium heat. The skillet should already be greased, so you don't need to add any butter to prevent sticking. Cook eggs, stirring often, until you have set and fluffy scrambled eggs.
Open the can of refried beans and place in a microwave safe bowl. Heat in the microwave for 1 minute. Give them a stir after they are heated.
Heat the tortillas in 30-second intervals in the microwave until warm and pliable, so you can easily remove them individually from the stack.
Cut 10 aluminum foil sheets large enough to wrap each taco individually. They should be about 12 inches square.
Assemble the tacos. Spread a spoonful of warm refried beans onto the center of each tortilla. Top with scrambled eggs and cooked sausage. Add a handful of shredded cheddar cheese. Do this until all 10 tortillas are filled. Wrap each taco up in a piece of aluminum foil.
Place wrapped tacos in a 9x13 baking dish. You will double stack them on top of each other, that's fine.
Bake for 15 minutes. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving tacos. We keep them wrapped in the foil and then our family unwraps them as they eat. Serve with your favorite salsa and enjoy!
