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.

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.
I used mission brand corn tortillas.
Hi, can you use uncooked sausages? maybe just cook them up first?
Sure! Just cook them first 🙂
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!
So happy to hear that, thank you for sharing Kiara! I’m really glad everyone liked them 🙂
Did you use fully cooked sausage links or uncooked?
Hi Tricia,
I used fully cooked sausage links!
Yummy. My toddler loves these. We’ve made them a couple of times without the spinach.
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.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Curious too know what the calories
Do you have the nutritional information on these?
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! 🙂
when people go camping they generally don’t carry microwaves with them. so……
