Ingredients
Sausage
- 7-ounce box fully cooked sausage links
Eggs
- 5 large eggs
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Other
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheese (your favorite kind)
- 10 white corn tortillas (or use 6” flour tortillas)
Instructions
- Prepare the Sausage: Heat the fully cooked sausage links according to package instructions, either by microwaving or pan-frying, until warmed through. Then slice the sausage into bite-sized pieces for easy layering.
- Scramble the Eggs: Crack the eggs into a bowl, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and whisk until smooth. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add the eggs, and cook gently while stirring until they are fully scrambled and fluffy.
- Assemble the Taquitos: Warm the tortillas in the microwave for 20-30 seconds to make them pliable. On each tortilla, place a few pieces of the cooked sausage, add a spoonful of the scrambled eggs, and sprinkle shredded cheese evenly on top.
- Roll the Taquitos: Roll each tortilla tightly around the filling to form a taquito. Arrange the wrapped taquitos seam-side down on a baking sheet to help maintain their shape while baking.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the taquitos on the baking sheet for 10-12 minutes or until the tortillas turn golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Serve: Remove the taquitos from the oven and serve them warm with your favorite dipping sauces, such as salsa or guacamole, for a tasty breakfast or brunch option.
Notes
- You can substitute corn tortillas with flour tortillas if preferred.
- Use your favorite cheese such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a Mexican blend for best results.
- For extra crispiness, brush taquitos lightly with oil before baking.
- Leftover taquitos can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven or air fryer for a quick snack.
