Time to spice up your brunch game.

These incredible breakfast tacos from Niall Kirkland are the perfect way to kick-start your day with a little heat and a whole lot of flavour.

Each delicious mini tortilla is stacked with sizzling sausage meat, seasoned veg, scrambled egg, slices of avo, a sprinkle of cheese and a drizzle of hot sauce — if you’re brave enough. Pretty sensational, right?

Once you have these mastered, you’ll be known as the brunch king of your group, no doubt about it.

Makes 10

Ingredients                 

  • 2 tbsp. coconut oil
  • 4 sausages (deskinned)
  • 1 onion (diced)
  • 1 pepper (diced)
  • 1 tsp. cumin
  • 1 tsp. paprika
  • 1 tsp. garlic granules
  • A pinch of chilli powder
  • 4 eggs (beaten and seasoned)
  • 2 spring onions (finely chopped)
  • 1 medium avocado (sliced)
  • 30g cheddar cheese (grated)
  • 50g salsa
  • Mini tortillas
To serve:
  • Hot sauce

Method

  1. Heat the coconut oil in a pan on a medium heat and add your deskinned sausages. As they fry, break them up with a wooden spoon or spatula.
  2. Once cooked, add your onion and pepper and continue frying until the veg has softened.
  3. Add the cumin, paprika, garlic and chilli powder and season well.
  4. Continue to cook for 5 minutes until the sausage meat and veg has soaked up the spices, then remove from heat and set aside.
  5. Heat another tablespoon of coconut oil in a non-stick pan and add your eggs. Cook for a couple of minutes, stirring constantly, then add your spring onions, give it a final stir and remove from heat.
  6. Time to make your tacos! Niall’s built his with the sausage & veg mix first, then egg, then avocado, then cheese, followed by salsa, a drizzle of hot sauce, and a sprinkle of coriander. Breakfast is served!
