Ingredients
  

Tortilla and egg filling
  • 12 small flour tortillas
  • 8 eggs, scrambled
  • 1 lb breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
  • 2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 0.25 cup green onions, sliced
  • 0.25 tsp salt to taste
  • 0.25 tsp pepper to taste
For crisping and serving
  • 1 cooking spray or oil
  • 1 salsa and sour cream for serving

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

Warm tortillas
  1. Warm the tortillas to make them pliable, using a dry skillet or griddle over medium heat until flexible, about 30-60 seconds per tortilla with light steam visible.
Fill and roll
  1. Fill each tortilla with scrambled eggs, sausage, cheese, and green onions, keeping the filling centered so it doesn’t spill as you roll.
  2. Roll each tortilla tightly and secure with toothpicks so the seam stays closed and the taquitos keep a neat cylinder shape.
Crisp and grill
  1. Spray the taquitos with cooking spray or brush with oil for even browning.
  2. Place taquitos on a campfire grate over medium heat and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and crispy, flipping once when the bottom releases easily.
Serve
  1. Remove toothpicks and serve immediately with salsa and sour cream for dipping.

Notes

For easier rolling, warm tortillas just before assembling so they stay flexible. Store covered in the fridge up to 3 days; reheat in a hot oven or on a skillet until crisp. Freeze yes—cool completely, freeze in a single layer, then reheat from frozen until hot and crisp again. Dietary swap: use turkey sausage for a lighter option while keeping the filling savory and hearty.
