  • 1.5 cup Mexican cheese blend, shredded shredded
  • 0.25 cup diced green chiles

  • 10 small flour tortillas warmed until pliable

  • 0.1 tsp black pepper to taste

  • cooking spray or olive oil for brushing or spraying
serving
  • salsa to serve
  • sour cream to serve
  • hot sauce to serve

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

Make the filling
  1. Scramble the large eggs over medium heat until just set, then remove from the heat while still slightly soft so they don’t overcook.
  2. Mix the cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage, scrambled eggs, shredded Mexican cheese blend, and diced green chiles together, then season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Roll and bake
  1. Warm the small flour tortillas in the microwave for 30 seconds to make them pliable.
  2. Place 2–3 tablespoons of the filling down the center of each tortilla and roll up tightly.
  3. Arrange the taquitos seam-side down on a parchment-lined sheet pan and brush or spray with cooking spray or olive oil for browning.
  4. Bake at 425°F for 18–20 minutes until deeply golden and crispy, serving immediately with salsa, sour cream, and hot sauce.

Notes

Pro tip: pull the eggs when they’re still slightly soft— they finish setting in the oven and keep the filling from getting dry. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat on a sheet pan in a 400°F oven until crisp. Freeze taquitos after baking up to 2 months and re-crisp in the oven from frozen. For a dietary swap, use turkey breakfast sausage for a lighter meat option while keeping the cheese and tortilla the same.
