Scrambled eggs, cheese and sausage links rolled and baked inside a corn tortilla. These Egg and Sausage Breakfast Taquitos are simple and delicious!
One of my goals for this blog is to provide meal ideas for “real people” that use real ingredients. I don’t share things that are too fancy or difficult to make and I like to use real, quality ingredients. If you see it published on my blog then you can be sure my family already taste tested it and gave it five stars!
I like to mix things up at night, which often means making breakfast for dinner or “brinner”, using all-natural breakfast meats from Jones Dairy Farm.
One of my favorite products is their fully cooked sausage links. They have pork, chicken and turkey links and not only are they delicious, all you have to do is reheat them. They’re great for a super fast breakfast or brinner.
You can add them to your favorite soup, or pasta. (I’ve added the turkey links to this tortellini soup and it was delicious!)
JonesBrinner.com has hundreds of awesome Brinner recipe ideas and how-to’s, like the best ways to cook bacon and how to make a hashbrown pizza crust.
I used pork sausage links in these yummy Egg and Sausage Breakfast Taquitos and my family devoured them. They’re so incredibly easy too.
Just scramble some eggs, add some cheese and a breakfast sausage link (and some spinach if you want to incorporate a veggie), and then roll them up in a corn tortilla and bake them. I like to dip them in my favorite homemade salsa. Who can resist breakfast for dinner, am I right?!

Scrambled eggs, cheese and sausage links rolled and baked inside a corn tortilla. These Egg and Sausage Breakfast Taquitos are simple and delicious!
- 7 ounce box fully cooked sausage links
- 5 large eggs
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese , your favorite kind
- 1 cup baby spinach leaves , chopped (optional)
- 10 white corn tortillas , or use 6'' flour tortillas
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Add the frozen sausage links to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, turning occasionally, until warmed through.
Remove to a plate, leaving a little bit of the sausage grease in the pan.
Crack eggs into a bowl and add a splash of water or milk. Whisk well with a fork and then add to the pan.
Season with salt and pepper. Cook for a few minutes, tossing and scrambling as they cook. (If using spinach, add it to the pan about 2 minutes before the eggs are done cooking.) Remove from heat.
Warm the tortillas on a hot skillet or griddle for a few seconds until they are pliable.
Divide the scrambled eggs among the tortillas and top with shredded cheese.
Place a sausage link on top. Roll up and place, seam side down, on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper.
Spray lightly with cooking spray and bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with salsa for dipping.
Next time try French Toast Sausage Roll Ups.
To Freeze: Prepare and bake the taquitos as directed. Allow to cool completely and then place in a freezer ziplock bag. When ready to eat, microwave them until warm.

Jennifer says
Definitely going to try these out!
Hafsa says
I like your blog and I will try your recipe. Taquitos looks delicious 🙂
Amy says
These look amazing!!!! Thank you for our breakfast next weekend 😉
Kim says
Could you freeze these and then warm them up on the grill for an easy camping breakfast for a group.
Lauren Allen says
Hi Kim, Yes, You can definitely do that! Great idea!
Melissa says
I’m just wondering if anyone made these successfully? The corn tortillas ripped as I tried to roll them. I’ve never been able to roll corn tortillas, but I thought maybe the suggestion of the microwave helped? It didn’t for me. Any suggestions?
Barry says
Try placing a damp paper towel on a plate, add tortillas and place a damp paper towel on top. The steam from the paper towels will help soften them.
Catherine says
If you have a gas stove, turn it on high and put a tortilla on the burner for about 10-15 seconds, flip it over and do another 10-15 seconds.
Donna Oddis says
Should have read this before trying to make for a group meeting. Horrible!! Corn tortillas, even with micro softening didn’t work. I’m in a panic right now!!
Monique says
Do these freeze well? Looks like a good make ahead breakfast for families on the go.
Lauren Allen says
Hi Monique, Yes, you may freeze them for a quick and easy breakfast on the go! I’ve added freezing instructions to the directions above 🙂
Brittney says
How long are they good for in the freezer?
mom24boys says
RE: corn tortillas, put them in a covered dish to microwave them and run it for 20 sec. Then, split the stack and turn the halves over so what was once outside is now inside. Microwave another 15 secs and let them sit for 5 minutes, unopened, to let them steam. Once you start making your taquitos, do so quickly and with only 3 or 4 at a time.
And, BTW, the recipe directions never tell you when to add the sausage to the taquitos. (yes, I figured it out easily but others might get confused because they follow directions too closely.) Just thought I’d mention it.
Charity says
Love this idea, especially for little ones! What could I use as a healthy spread in place of eggs for children??
Marina says
Oh how I love this idea😍 Would be even perfect for camp breakfasts.
skyler says
when people go camping they generally don’t carry microwaves with them. so……
Nichole says
Just made these up and they’re coming along camping with us this weekend! I may or may not have already tried a couple. Delish! 🙂
Jennifer says
Do you have the nutritional information on these?
Brit says
Curious too know what the calories
Battleon says
Made 72 of these for a men’s breakfast. Cooked them night before, refrigerated over-night, warmed at 180 deg next morning for 1 1/2 hours, foil covered. Took foil off, added small amount of cheese to top. Went to 450 deg, slightly browned, served. Guys ate ’em like candy. Used flour and corn torts, flour easier and maple sausage.
Lauren Allen says
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Amanda says
Yummy. My toddler loves these. We’ve made them a couple of times without the spinach.
Tricia says
Did you use fully cooked sausage links or uncooked?
Lauren Allen says
Hi Tricia,
I used fully cooked sausage links!
Kiara says
I made these for a potluck today, and they were a HUGE hit! I used flour tortillas though because my corn tortillas kept breaking once I rolled them. I figure it might have been because I was doing something wrong, but regardless, I will be making these again! I loved how crispy and intact everything was once they were done baking. Delicious!
Lauren Allen says
So happy to hear that, thank you for sharing Kiara! I’m really glad everyone liked them 🙂
Kia says
Hi, can you use uncooked sausages? maybe just cook them up first?
Lauren Allen says
Sure! Just cook them first 🙂
Amber says
Hello. Made these 3 times, first two times the tort is too big so too much tortilla for the amount of eggs and link or this time I bought street taco flour torts so now they are overstuffed. What brand of tortillas do you use? Thank you.
Lauren Allen says
I used mission brand corn tortillas.
Tara says
I made these, wrapped in foil and froze them for camping. We just popped a few foil wrapped on the camp stove griddle in the mornings to heat them up. I liked them much better with a slight char and they would have been good heated by camp fire but we didn’t light fires in the mornings this trip. *When making them I melted a bit of cheese over the corn tortillas in the microwave before rolling. Cold tortillas will split. :)– love that they taste good and are super easy. Great for breakfast while camping.
