Ingredients

You’ll need just 4 basic ingredients plus some optional toppings for these breakfast sausage taquitos:

• Eggs – Use your egg of choice here.
• Jones Dairy Farm Chicken Sausage Links – These are a must as they are juicy, flavorful, and a great protein addition in these sausage taquitos.
• Cheese – I’ve used shredded cheddar, but you can really use any cheese that melts well. Pepper jack, Monterey jack, colby, or queso asadero would also all work well.
• Tortillas – Use corn tortillas. Look for extra thin tortillas if you can, these will be easier to roll without breaking. If you would rather use flour tortillas, you’ll end up with breakfast flautas. 🙂
• Toppings – Sour cream, pico de gallo or salsa, hot sauce (These are optional and not necessary)

How to Make Breakfast Taquitos

Let’s make these breakfast taquitos! Full instructions and details can be found below in the recipe card.

• Prep eggs. Whisk eggs together in a small bowl and season with sea salt and black pepper.
• Cook eggs. We’re going for a crepe-type cooked egg so pour eggs into a large nonstick skillet and swirl pan so eggs cover the entire pan. Cook for a few minutes, flip over (you can cut in half to do this) and cook until set. Cut into 12 strips.

TIP: This doesn’t need to be perfect, we’re just looking for thin strips of eggs.

• Cook sausage. Prepare Jones Dairy Farm sausage according to package instructions.Cut in half lengthwise.
• Heat tortillas. Heat tortillas on a plate for 15-30 seconds covered with a damp paper towel, just until warmed through. If they are hard to roll without cracking, you may need to heat them up again.
• Assemble breakfast taquitos. Place a strip of egg on the bottom of the tortilla, two pieces of sausage, and a sprinkle of shredded cheese. Tightly roll up and seal with a toothpick.

• Cook taquitos. Air fry taquitos until tortillas are golden brown and cheese has melted. Serve with variety of toppings.

Baked Breakfast Taquitos

If you prefer to bake the taquitos, bake at 425 degrees F for 15-20 minutes, until breakfast taquito is golden brown.

Tips for Making Taquitos

• Look for extra-thin tortillas – If you can find extra-thin tortillas, I recommend them as they roll up easier
• Heat up your tortillas – They need to be pliable so they roll up without cracking
• Don’t overstuff – It’s so tempting to add a ton of fillings to your air fryer breakfast taquitos, but they will break so restrain yourself! 😉
• Move quickly – The longer the rolled tortillas sit, the more likely they will break, so roll and cook quickly
• Brush with oil – To get some great crunch, brush with oil before air frying

What to Serve with Breakfast Taquitos Recipe

Besides a variety of fresh toppings, serve up these

• Fruit salad
• Fresh fruit
• Orange juice
• Coffee – Try a lavender latte, sweet cream cold foam, or an iced espresso.
• Air Fryer Hash Browns
