Instructions
Creating Breakfast Taquitos can be enjoyable and straightforward by following these simple steps:
1. Prepare Filling: In a bowl, whisk the eggs, adding salt and pepper to taste.
2. Cook Eggs: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add eggs and cook, stirring gently until just set.
3. Add Cheese and Protein: Once the eggs are nearly cooked, stir in the shredded cheese, breakfast sausage or bacon, and optional vegetables until the cheese is melted.
4. Warm Tortillas: In a separate skillet, lightly warm the tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side to make them pliable.
5. Fill Tortillas: Place a generous spoonful of the egg mixture onto the lower half of each tortilla.
6. Roll Up: Carefully roll the tortilla tightly, keeping the filling secure.
7. Cook Taquitos: Heat the olive oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Place the rolled taquitos seam-side down, cooking for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
8. Flip: Carefully turn them over to cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes.
9. Serve: Remove from the skillet and let cool slightly before serving.
