Ingredients
-
1 package Mulay’s breakfast sausage
-
1 jalapeño, 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 (cheddar, pepper jack, or your choice)
-
12 corn tortillas
-
Spray oil
Instructions
-
Cook the sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage, breaking it up into crumbles until browned and cooked through. Add diced jalapeño and sauté for 1–2 minutes until softened.
-
Wilt the spinach: Add baby spinach to the skillet and cook until just wilted. Remove skillet from heat and set aside.
-
Scramble the eggs: In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and salt. In a separate pan, cook eggs until just set but still soft. Combine with the sausage mixture.
-
Add cheese: Stir in 1 to 2 cups of shredded cheese, depending on how cheesy you want your taquitos.
-
Warm tortillas: Heat corn tortillas for a few seconds in the microwave or in a pan to make them pliable.
-
Assemble taquitos: Add 2–3 tablespoons of filling to each tortilla, then roll tightly.
-
Crisp the taquitos: Lightly spray a skillet or baking sheet with oil. Cook taquitos seam-side down in a skillet until golden and crispy on all sides, or bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10–12 minutes until crispy.
-
Serve hot with salsa, sour cream, or guacamole if desired.
Notes
Can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for 3–4 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
For extra crispiness, cook in an air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 6–8 minutes.
Customize with sautéed onions, mushrooms, or even black beans for added flavor and texture.
