Breakfast Taquitos Ingredients
- 7 ounce box fully cooked sausage links
- 5 large eggs
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese, your favorite kind
- 10 white corn tortillas, or 6” flour tortillas
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s hot enough for baking the taquitos until crispy.
- Warm Sausages: Place the fully cooked sausage links in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Turn occasionally to warm through evenly. Once heated, remove them to a plate, leaving any grease in the pan for cooking the eggs.
- Scramble Eggs: Crack the eggs into a bowl and add a splash of water or milk. Whisk thoroughly with a fork, then pour into the skillet with the sausage grease. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cook while tossing and scrambling until just set. Remove from heat.
- Warm Tortillas: Heat the tortillas for a few seconds each on a hot dry skillet or griddle so they become pliable and easier to roll without cracking.
- Assemble Taquitos: Divide the scrambled eggs evenly among the tortillas. Sprinkle with shredded cheese and place a sausage link on top of each. Carefully roll up the tortillas and position them seam side down on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper.
- Bake: Lightly spray the assembled taquitos with cooking spray. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes until the taquitos are golden brown and crispy. Serve warm with salsa for dipping.
Notes
- Air Fryer Instructions: Place the assembled taquitos in a greased air fryer basket and cook at 400°F for 8-10 minutes until warmed through and crispy.
- Make Ahead Instructions: You can prepare the taquitos up to the baking step and store them covered in the refrigerator for several hours until ready to bake.
- Freezing Instructions: Assemble the taquitos until the baking step, then freeze in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. To bake from frozen, thaw to room temperature and bake as usual, or bake directly from frozen on a greased sheet at 350°F covered with foil for 15 minutes, then uncovered for another 15 minutes until crispy and heated through.
