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.

Looks delicious! The presentation was nicely done!!! Thank you for sharing.
I made these for my daughter who just had a baby & is nursing. I added spinach & she LOVED THEM. This next batch I’m making is 3 times as much for her. They are easy to make & great for a new momma who needs nourishment. They also freeze very well.
We LOVED this one! were making it again tomorrow and prepping some for freezer meals!
Love this recipe! Just made the fir the first time and I used chicken sausage!
I made these today with the spinach and they were great! I barely set the eggs so they wouldn’t be dry after baking, and it was amazing. I have made flour breakfast burritos and froze them, but never considered corn tortillas.
I made some of these today and were great and something different for breakfast. Do these stay crispy reheated in the microwave the next day? Or is it best to do it in a pan on the stove for a few minutes instead?
A pan on the stove would be ideal!
I take breakfast burritos on the second day and put them in the air fryer for a few minutes seam down then maybe 10-15 seconds in the microwave. The air fryer crisps them just a bit but doesn’t quite get them warm enough in the middle. My husband really likes them warmed this way. I would say you could do the same with these.
I have not tried them yet but plan to soon.
DELISH ! EASY AND SO YUMMY, GREAT TO MAKE A BUNCH AND HAVE IN THE FREEZER ! I HAVE ALREADY PASSED THIS ONE TO SEVERAL FRIENDS AND FAMILY… THANKS !
“Brinner”? Um…not a real word. Other than that…good idea.
Brinner is a slang way of referring to “breakfast for dinner”.
These are great! I’m making for a Good Friday brunch at my granddaughter’s pre-school. I just need to bake them in the morning. My only critique is the white corn tortillas tear so easily, even with warming in a pan. I finished up with flour tortillas and doubled sausage and sliced in half. I’ll definitely make again using the flour tortillas. Thank you for recipe! .
Brinner is a word since Jerry Seinfeld coined it in the 90s. Also see, “dunch” (dinner for lunch) and “sninner” ( snacks for dinner, like a cheese plate). You do you, boo.
I like lupper for lunch and supper…
Brinner is a common breakfast as dinner reference…
Could you post a link for the tortillas you use? I have made this recipe several times and any flour tortilla I use is so thick and looks nothing like what you have used, look thinner and flaky! Thank you!!
She’s using white corn tortillas…that’s the difference. They do look like flour tortillas, though, don’t they?
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.
