Ingredients

Scale

Eggs and Sausage

  • 6 large eggs
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ pound ground sausage or 12 breakfast sausage links

Other Ingredients

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 12 small flour tortillas
  • Optional garnishes: chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes, chopped onion

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure the taquitos bake evenly without sticking.
  2. Scramble the Eggs: Beat the eggs with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, then add the eggs and scramble gently until they are just set but still soft. Remove from heat to prevent overcooking.
  3. Cook the Sausage: In the same or a separate skillet, cook the ground sausage or sausage links until fully browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
  4. Assemble the Taquitos: Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface. Evenly distribute the scrambled eggs and cooked sausage among them. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top. Roll each tortilla tightly and place them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Bake: Lightly brush the tops of the taquitos with a bit of olive oil to achieve a crispy finish. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes or until the tortillas are golden and crispy.
  6. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve hot, garnished with chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes, and chopped onion if desired. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauces for added flavor.

Notes

  • For an extra crispy exterior, broil the taquitos for the last 2-3 minutes of baking, but watch closely to avoid burning.
  • Customize each taquito with different fillings or cheese types to suit individual preferences for a personalized breakfast experience.
  • Serve with a variety of dipping sauces such as salsa, sour cream, or guacamole to keep each bite interesting and flavorful.
