Shape into a thin patty and cook in a skillet over medium heat for 3–4 minutes per side until fully cooked.
Remove and crumble.
2) Scramble the eggs
In the same pan, whisk the 2 eggs.
Cook gently over low-medium heat until just softly scrambled.
Remove from heat.
3) Make the pico
Mix tomatoes, onion, cilantro, lime, and salt in a small bowl.

Place the tortilla in the skillet.
On one half, add:
dairy-free cheese scrambled eggs crumbled turkey sausage a little extra cheese on top

Optional: avocado slices on top are amazing here.
This one tastes very “restaurant brunch” style but still blood-sugar balanced.
