Cooking Steps
  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat, add the cooked breakfast sausage or crumbled bacon, and sauté until browned and crispy, about 5 minutes.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Melt 1 tbsp of unsalted butter in the skillet, then pour in the eggs, gently stirring until fluffy.
  3. Warm another skillet over medium heat. Brush 8 tortillas with 1 tsp vegetable oil, cooking for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
  4. Remove the eggs from heat just before fully cooked. Place shredded cheese on warm tortillas to melt, then add scrambled eggs and cooked sausage or bacon.
  5. Top with avocado, salsa, cilantro, and lime juice before serving warm.
