Ingredients

  • fully cooked sausage links
    1 box
  • eggs
    5 large
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • cheese

    your favorite kind

    1 ½ c
  • white corn tortillas or 6” flour tortillas
    10

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the taquitos to a crispy golden brown.

  2. 2

    Place the fully cooked sausage links in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook them while turning occasionally until they are heated through. Remove the sausages and leave any grease in the pan.

  3. 3

    Crack the eggs into a bowl, add a splash of water or milk, and whisk thoroughly. Pour the mixture into the skillet with the retained sausage grease. Season with salt and pepper. Cook the eggs, tossing and scrambling continuously until done. If adding spinach, mix it in about 2 minutes before the eggs finish cooking. Remove from heat once scrambled.

  4. 4

    Heat the tortillas on a hot dry skillet or griddle for a few seconds until they become pliable and easy to roll.

  5. 5

    Divide the scrambled eggs evenly across each tortilla, sprinkle shredded cheese on top, then place a warm sausage link on each. Roll up the tortillas tightly and place them seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper.

  6. 6

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