Ingredients for Breakfast Smash Tacos

• Sausage – Use your favorite breakfast sausage in this recipe. It can be spicy sausage or you can go without the kick! Switch it up with turkey sausage or chorizo, whatever you prefer or have on hand already will be so tasty.
• Soft tortillas – Fresh flour tortillas make the best Blackstone breakfast tacos, so make sure you grab the most fresh tortillas you can find. We tend to use flour because they are more pliable but you can use corn tortillas, too.
• Cheddar cheese– For the cheesiest and gooiest results, shred your own cheese instead of buying pre-shredded cheese.
• Eggs – We recommend grabbing large eggs or extra large eggs. Ask everyone you are serving how they like their eggs and make each persons eggs to their personal preference. They’ll like their taco even more that way!
• Chives – Chives just add so much more flavor to breakfast tacos. Can’t find chives? Green onion works in a pinch!
• Butter – You can use either salted butter or unsalted butter, both will work great.
• Salsa – For the best flavor, make your own fresh salsa. However, if you don’t have time to do that you can use your favorite store-bought salsa too.

How To Make Smash Breakfast Tacos

Divide ground sausage into four equal parts. Take one chunk and spread it evenly over a tortilla, covering the entire surface. Repeat this process with each tortilla until all sausage is gone. Place on a baking sheet until ready to cook.

Melt half of the butter onto the cooking surface of the preheated Blackstone and spread it around with the back of a spatula. Place the tortillas, meat side down, on the greased surface.

Cook for 3-4 minutes then flip the breakfast smash burger tacos and top browned sausage with shredded cheese. Cook for 3 more minutes, or until the sausage reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Melt the other half of the butter and the crack the eggs on the griddle, cooking however you like.

Place cooked eggs on top of the cheese and fold tacos in half.
