Ingredients
| 2 | sausages of choice |
| 2 | soft corn tortillas |
| 1 tbsp | neutral oil |
| ¼ | ripe avocado, peeled, stoned and sliced |
| 4–5 | cherry tomatoes, cut into quarters |
| Squeeze of | lime juice |

Method
COOK THE SAUSAGE MEAT
Remove the sausages from their casings, then spread the sausage meat thinly and evenly over each tortilla, pressing it down.
Heat ½ tablespoon of the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and place the tortillas in, sausage meat-side down.
Cook for 3–5 minutes until the sausage meat is golden and crisp. Flip and cook the other side for 1–2 minutes, then transfer to a plate.
FRY THE EGG(S)
Add the remaining oil to the pan and crack in your egg(s). Fry for a few minutes until the bottom(s) is crisp. Cover with a lid or plate for a minute or so until the white(s) is set but the yolk(s) is still runny.
ASSEMBLE
Top each taco with the avocado, fried egg(s), cherry tomatoes and a squeeze of lime juice. Add any extras you fancy – pickled red onions, jalapeños, fresh coriander, hot sauce. Serve.
