Description

Crispy, savory breakfast taquitos with melty cheese and fluffy eggs, perfect for busy mornings.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb breakfast sausage (or diced bacon/plant-based crumble)
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
  • 12 (6-inch) flour tortillas
  • Neutral oil spray


Instructions

  1. Cook sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned, about 6–8 minutes. Drain excess fat.
  2. Whisk eggs with milk, scramble in the same pan over medium-low until just set, about 3–4 minutes.
  3. Combine egg mixture with cheese and green onions.
  4. Warm tortillas in the microwave for 15–20 seconds wrapped in a damp towel.
  5. Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of the filling across each tortilla, roll tightly, and place seam-side down on a baking sheet.
  6. Lightly spray with oil and bake at 425°F (220°C) for 12–15 minutes or air-fry at 400°F (200°C) for 8–10 minutes until golden and crisp.

Notes

Use a wire rack for even crisping and do not overfill the tortillas to prevent splitting.
