Instructions
Cook Sausage
- Heat skillet over medium heat. Add sausage and cook until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat.
Scramble Eggs
- In a bowl, whisk eggs with salt and pepper. Pour into the skillet and scramble with sausage.
Add Cheese
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over scrambled eggs and sausage. Stir gently until cheese melts.
Prepare Tortillas
- Warm tortillas slightly to make them flexible. Lay them flat on a clean surface for rolling.
Add Filling
- Spoon scrambled eggs, sausage, and cheese mixture onto each tortilla, leaving edges clear for rolling.
Roll Taquitos
- Roll tortillas tightly around the filling. Place seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush or Spray Oil
- Lightly brush or spray the taquitos with olive oil to help them crisp in the oven.
Bake Taquitos
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake taquitos for 15–20 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Check Doneness
- Ensure taquitos are firm and crispy. Remove from oven carefully using a spatula.
Serve Warm
- Serve immediately with salsa, sour cream or guacamole. Enjoy crispy, cheesy, savory taquitos for breakfast.
Notes
- Use warm tortillas for easy rolling.
- Don’t overcook eggs; they should stay soft and moist.
- Brush taquitos with oil for extra crispiness.
- Use shredded cheese that melts well, like cheddar or Monterey Jack.
- Serve immediately for best texture.
