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.
I like to mix things up at night, which often means making breakfast for dinner or “brinner”, using all-natural breakfast meats from 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!)

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!
- 1 7 oz box Jones Dairy Farm sausage links
- 5 large eggs
- salt and pepper
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese cheddar, pepper jack or Monterey jack
- 1 cup baby spinach 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 inside of a damp paper towel for 10-15 seconds in the microwave. 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.
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.

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.
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?

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!
