Ingredients
- 7 ounce box fully cooked sausage links
- 5 large eggs
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese, your favorite kind
- 10 white corn tortillas, or 6” flour tortillas
Instructions
- 1
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s hot enough for baking the taquitos until crispy.

Warm Sausages: Place the fully cooked sausage links in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Turn occasionally to warm through evenly. Once heated, remove them to a plate, leaving any grease in the pan for cooking the eggs.

Scramble Eggs: Crack the eggs into a bowl and add a splash of water or milk. Whisk thoroughly with a fork, then pour into the skillet with the sausage grease. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cook while tossing and scrambling until just set. Remove from heat.

Warm Tortillas: Heat the tortillas for a few seconds each on a hot dry skillet or griddle so they become pliable and easier to roll without cracking.

Assemble Taquitos: Divide the scrambled eggs evenly among the tortillas. Sprinkle with shredded cheese and place a sausage link on top of each. Carefully roll up the tortillas and position them seam side down on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper.

Bake: Lightly spray the assembled taquitos with cooking spray. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes until the taquitos are golden brown and crispy. Serve warm with salsa for dipping.
