Ingredients
-
1 pkg Mulay’s breakfast sausage (or your preferred sausage)
-
1 jalapeno, seeded & diced
-
4 oz baby spinach (about 3 large handfuls)
-
6 eggs
-
1/4 cup milk
-
1/2 tsp salt
-
1–2 cups shredded cheese (depending on how cheesy you like it)
-
12 corn tortillas
-
Spray oil (for greasing)
Instructions
-
Cook the sausage: In a large skillet, crumble and cook the sausage over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Remove from skillet and set aside.
-
Sauté the vegetables: In the same skillet, add diced jalapeno and cook for 1–2 minutes. Add spinach and sauté until wilted, about 2 minutes.
-
Scramble the eggs: In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and salt. Pour the mixture into the skillet with the vegetables and cook, stirring occasionally, until eggs are scrambled and cooked through.
-
Combine sausage and eggs: Add the cooked sausage back to the skillet with the eggs and vegetables. Stir to combine, then remove from heat.
-
Assemble the taquitos: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Heat the corn tortillas in the microwave or on a skillet for 20-30 seconds to make them more pliable. Spoon a generous amount of the egg, sausage, and spinach mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Top with shredded cheese.
-
Roll and bake: Roll up each tortilla tightly and place seam-side down on a baking sheet. Lightly spray the taquitos with oil to help them crisp up.
-
Bake for 15–20 minutes or until the taquitos are golden and crispy. Serve with salsa or guacamole.
Notes
For extra flavor, you can add a sprinkle of cumin or paprika to the egg mixture.
You can make these ahead and freeze them before baking for a convenient grab-and-go breakfast.
Feel free to substitute flour tortillas if preferred, though corn tortillas will give a more authentic taste.
