Sausage and Egg Scramble Tacos

Good Monday! Hope everyone had a nice weekend. We had a pretty quiet one. It was about 576 degrees outside, so much of it was spent in the house.

Anyway, I saw the original recipe for this on Pinterest and it looked awesome. I did change a few things to suit my personal tastes though (this is a super adaptable recipe, so feel free to add or subtract anything you may like).

For instance, I have never purchased 'skin on pork belly' before, and I'm not planning to start purchasing it any time soon, so I changed that to the sausage crumbles. You can of course just buy a package of ground sausage and brown it up, but I like the Jimmy Dean crumbles because they're already cooked and crumbled...and I'm lazy.

Also, I don't know what Mexican crema is, or cotija, so I went with regular 'ol sour cream and left out the cotija altogether (I still don't know what it is...I should probably google it). Overall though, I really liked this! It turns out I'm not a huge fan of corn tortillas, so next time I make this (which will be in about 10 minutes...as soon as I'm done writing this post), I'll use flour tortillas instead.

Have a great day!
