Directions:

1. In a medium saucepan on medium heat, cook the frozen hash browns until golden brown. Make sure to spray the pan with oil before adding the hash browns. Season with salt, pepper, or creole seasoning. You can cook the frozen sausage at the same time to the side.
2. Pour the hash browns and sausage out onto a large plate once fully cooked. Then, re-spray the pan and use it to scramble three eggs.
3. Once the eggs are cooked pour them onto a different section of the same plate.
4. Now, add a tsp of butter to the same saucepan and let it melt. On top of the butter add a pinch of sea salt and a pinch of oregano.
5. Place the first tortilla on top of the pan. Cook each side until golden brown. Then remove and place on a separate plate to quickly top with cheese. Repeat this step for all four tortillas, adding butter and seasoning to the pan after every two.
6. Assemble the tacos by adding the hash browns first, then eggs, then sausage. Top with homemade guacamole, hot sauce, or your favorite dip!
