There are two ways to make these...

 

First way is to scramble some eggs and mix in chopped/sautéed sausage.

Heat a soft flower tortilla directly over the stove burner for a few seconds on each side.

Remove and butter one side.

Fill with egg/sausage mixture, add cheese, sour cream & salsa as desired.

 

The other way is to fry up a couple eggs, and also fry up a couple of sausage patties.

Heat tortilla as described above. 

Place two fried eggs on tortilla, then two sausage patties.

Add a couple slices of cheese, sour cream and salsa as desired.

 

Both are simple to make, easy to handle, and tasty!
