Ingredients
  

Tortillas
  • 12 small flour tortillas
Egg filling
  • 8 eggs scrambled
Sausage filling
  • 1 lb breakfast sausage cooked and crumbled
Cheese
  • 2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Green onions
  • 0.25 cup green onions sliced
Seasoning
  • 0.5 tsp salt to taste
  • 0.5 tsp pepper to taste
Cooking fat
  • 1 cooking spray or oil for spraying or brushing
Serving
  • 1 salsa
  • 1 sour cream

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan
  • 1 cast iron skillet

Method
 

Warm tortillas
  1. Warm the small flour tortillas until pliable, so they roll without cracking.
Scramble filling
  1. Scramble the eggs with salt and pepper until set, then keep them warm for filling the tortillas.
Assemble taquitos
  1. Fill each tortilla with scrambled eggs, cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, and sliced green onions.
  2. Roll each tortilla tightly and secure with toothpicks.
Grill taquitos
  1. Spray the taquitos with cooking spray or brush with oil for a crisp, golden finish.
  2. Place taquitos on a campfire grate over medium heat and cook 3-4 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
Serve
  1. Remove toothpicks and serve immediately with salsa and sour cream for dipping.

Notes

Pro tip: keep the tortillas warm and covered with a clean towel as you assemble, so they stay flexible. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container up to 3 days; reheat in a hot oven or skillet until crisp again. Freezing is not recommended because tortillas can soften after thawing. For a lower-carb swap, use corn tortillas (they won’t be as pliable) or reduce filling and bake until crisp.
