How to Make Breakfast Smashed Tacos
Cook the Bacon
Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
Smash the Sausage
Divide the ground sausage into equal portions. Press a thin, even layer of sausage directly onto one side of each almond flour tortilla.
Cook the Smashed Tacos
Place the tortillas sausage-side down a skillet over medium heat. Cook until the sausage is fully cooked and crispy, about 3–4 minutes. Flip and warm the tortilla side for 1–2 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Scramble the Eggs
Lower the heat slightly and add butter to the skillet. Scramble the eggs gently until just set and fluffy.
Assemble

Yes. Using almond flour tortillas makes them much lower in carbs than corn or flour tortillas.
Cook over medium heat to ensure the sausage cooks through without burning the tortilla.
Ingredients can be prepped ahead, but cooking fresh gives the best texture.
Almond flour tortillas work best. Other tortillas will increase carbs and change texture.
