Breakfast Taquitos Full Recipe

Steps

1. Preheat the Oven:
   Heat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This step ensures that your taquitos bake evenly and don’t stick to the pan.
2. Scramble the Eggs:
   In a bowl, beat the eggs with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Pour in the eggs and scramble until just set. Remove from heat and set aside. The trick to perfect scrambled eggs is to cook them until they’re just firm, avoiding overcooking for a soft texture.
3. Cook the Sausage:
   If you’re using turkey sausage, cook it in a skillet over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. For vegetarian sausage links, simply heat them according to the package instructions.
4. Assemble the Taquitos:
   On a flat surface, place the tortillas. Divide the scrambled eggs and cooked sausage evenly among them. Top each one with shredded cheddar cheese. Roll each tortilla tightly to form taquitos, and place them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
5. Bake:
   Lightly brush the tops of the taquitos with olive oil. This step helps achieve a crispy, golden exterior. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the tortillas are golden and crispy.
6. Serve:
   Enjoy these taquitos hot, garnished with your choice of chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes, and chopped onion for a burst of fresh flavor.
