  2. Heat ½ tablespoon of the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and place the tortillas in, sausage meat-side down.

  4. Add the remaining oil to the pan and crack in your egg(s).
  5. Fry for a few minutes until the bottom(s) is crisp.
  6. Cover with a lid or plate for a minute or so until the white(s) is set but the yolk(s) is still runny.
  7. Top each taco with the avocado, fried egg(s), cherry tomatoes and a squeeze of lime juice.
  8. Add any extras you fancy – pickled red onions, jalapeños, fresh coriander, hot sauce. Serve.
