Description
Deliciously crispy breakfast taquitos filled with scrambled eggs, sausage, and cheese, perfect for quick mornings.
Ingredients
- 8 small flour tortillas
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray or oil for baking
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly oil it or spray with cooking spray.
- Crack the eggs into a bowl. Whisk with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium. Add a little oil if needed. Pour in the eggs. Stir gently. Cook until just set—soft but not wet. Remove from heat.
- Stir the cooked sausage, diced bell peppers, and green onions into the eggs. Mix until combined. Taste and adjust salt and pepper.
- Lay a tortilla flat. Spoon about 2–3 tablespoons of the filling across the middle. Sprinkle with shredded cheese.
- Roll the tortilla tightly and place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
- Lightly spray or brush the tops of the taquitos with oil. This helps them brown and crisp.
- Bake 15–20 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and crisp. Rotate the pan once halfway through if needed.
- Remove from the oven and let rest 2 minutes. Serve warm with salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.

These taquitos are great for meal prep and can be frozen for later use.
