Easy Breakfast Taquitos have scrambled eggs, cheese and sausage links rolled and baked inside a corn tortilla. They are quick to make, and fun to eat.

Why I love this recipe:
- Fun and Easy- Break up the usual pancakes and cereal with these homemade breakfast taquitos. With only a few ingredients you already have on hand, these couldn't be more simple to make.
- Camping Breakfast– I love to make these for our summer camping trips. I prep a bunch and store them in aluminum foil for us to cook over the campfire.
- Freezer Friendly – Make a big batch and freeze the rest for a quick breakfast later.
How to make Breakfast Taquitos:
Cook Sausage: In a pan on medium-high heat, cook sausage links until hot, remove from pan.
Scramble Eggs: Whisk eggs in a bowl with a splash of milk. Add to hot pan, stirring until scrambled.
Assemble: Warm tortillas on a hot skillet or griddle for a few seconds. Place a spoonful of scrambled eggs, shredded cheese, and a sausage link on top. Roll up and place seam side down, on a lined baking sheet.
Bake: Place in a 425F oven for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with salsa for dipping.
Make Ahead and Freezing Instructions:
To Make Ahead: Make taquitos up to the baking step and store covered in the refrigerator for several hours until ready to bake.
To Freeze: Make and assemble these egg taquitos until the baking step. Place them in a freezer safe bag and freeze for up to 2 months. Allow to thaw to room temperature, then bake as directed. To bake from frozen, place on a greased baking sheet and cover with foil. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes then uncover and bake for 15 more minutes, or until warmed through and crispy.
Air Fryer Breakfast Taquitos:
Place assembled breakfast taquitos in a greased air fryer and spray the tops generously with cooking spray. Air fry at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes, or until warmed and crispy.

Oh how I love this idea? Would be even perfect for camp breakfasts.
Love this idea, especially for little ones! What could I use as a healthy spread in place of eggs for children??
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.
Do these freeze well? Looks like a good make ahead breakfast for families on the go.
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 🙂
How long are they good for in the freezer?
These look amazing!!!! Thank you for our breakfast next weekend ?
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?
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.
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.
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!!
Could you freeze these and then warm them up on the grill for an easy camping breakfast for a group.
Hi Kim, Yes, You can definitely do that! Great idea!
What about freezing and reheating for the next morning? My husband needs healthy and quick on the go kind of breakfast ideas and morning snacks. These looks like something he would enjoy, even the kids before school as well.
I think that is a great idea!
These look amazing!!!! Thank you for our breakfast next weekend 😉
