Ingredients
Scale
Sausage
- 7 ounce box fully cooked sausage links
Eggs
- 5 large eggs
- To taste salt and pepper
- Optional: a splash of water or milk for scrambling
Cheese & Tortillas
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese, your favorite kind
- 10 white corn tortillas or 6-inch flour tortillas
Additional
- Cooking spray for baking
- Optional: spinach added to scrambled eggs
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking the taquitos.
- Warm Sausages: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the fully cooked sausage links until they are warmed through. Remove the sausages from the skillet, but keep the grease in the pan for cooking the eggs.
- Scramble Eggs: In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a splash of water or milk, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour into the skillet with the sausage grease and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the eggs are fully cooked. Optionally, add spinach to the eggs while cooking.
- Warm Tortillas: Heat the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave just until they are pliable and easy to roll without cracking.
- Assemble: Lay out each tortilla and divide the scrambled eggs evenly among them. Top each with shredded cheese and place one sausage link on top of the cheese. Carefully roll each tortilla tightly around the filling and place seam side down on a baking sheet.
- Bake: Lightly spray the taquitos with cooking spray to help them crisp up. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve the taquitos hot, ideally with salsa or your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Use either corn or flour tortillas depending on your preference.
- Add spinach or other vegetables into the scrambled eggs for extra nutrition.
- Ensure tortillas are warm and pliable to prevent cracking when rolling.
- Use cooking spray before baking to get a crispy texture instead of deep-frying.
- Serve with salsa, guacamole, or sour cream for dipping.
