Description

Warm, handheld taquitos filled with fluffy scrambled eggs, melty cheese, and savory sausage, perfect for busy mornings.


Ingredients

  • 8 small flour tortillas (68 inches)
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
  • 1 cup cooked and crumbled sausage (pork, turkey, or plant-based)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 12 tbsp oil for cooking


Instructions

  1. Prep: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Warm tortillas briefly on a dry skillet or microwave wrapped in a damp towel.
  2. Scramble: Beat the eggs with salt and pepper. Add butter or oil to the skillet, pour in eggs, and cook over medium-low, stirring gently until just set.
  3. Add fillings: Remove from heat, stir in cooked sausage and cheese until melted.
  4. Roll: Lay a tortilla flat, spoon filling down the center, and roll tightly. Place seam side down.
  5. Seal: Choose a cooking method and crisp the taquitos.
  6. Serve: Let rest 1–2 minutes, then enjoy with your favorite dips.

Notes

Use lean turkey sausage for a lighter option or swap sausage for sautéed mushrooms or plant-based sausage to make it vegetarian.
