Breakfast Taquitos

If you ask my family I would be known for being a little dramatic, having a type-A personality and making kick butt breakfast burritos. I wanted to cook a savory counterpart, like my breakfast burritos, to my Cinnamon Roll Casserole for the tailgate. But, I needed something easier to make and to eat version for the Spartan vs Badger morning tailgate. I found this recipe for breakfast taquitos on Pintrest and jumped on it.

This recipe takes some prep work to get the ingredients cooked, assembled, rolled and wrapped but working with two people helps a ton! A HUGE thanks to my husband 🙂 Thank you Chad!

I had him set out the tortillas and sprinkle cheese on them while he cooked the sausage. I cooked the scrambled eggs. We then created an assembly line to scoop on the eggs (using an ice cream scoop for consistency-worked great!) and then topped with the sausage.

Ingredients (making 20 taquitos)
2 x 14 piece pack of Bob Evans Original Sausage (or sausage of your choosing)
10 eggs
1 x 20 piece package of 6 inch flour tortillas
1 package of shredded cheese of your choosing (I used Colby Jack)
Salt and Pepper
Milk

Directions 
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F
2. Cook the sausage (I used a griddle for more space)
3.  Whisk together eggs, slash of milk, salt and pepper to taste and add to       warmed pan to make scrambled eggs.
4. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on the tortillas evenly. Divide the                   scrambled eggs among the tortillas. Top with a cooked sausage link.
4. Roll filled tortillas to make a tiny burrito
5. Place the rolled tortillas seam down on a foil lined cookie sheet
6. Put them in the over for 5-7 min or until the seam is sealed for easy           eating

To Serve at Tailgate: wrap cooled breakfast taquitos in tin foil and then place them into crockpot at Low or Keep Warm temperature.
To Keep in Fridge (tailgate leftovers): Keep in Ziploc bag. To warm, unwrap from tinfoil. Wrap in paper towel. Warm in microwave for 40 seconds or until warm.
To Freeze for “To-Go”: wrap cooled breakfast taquitos in saran wrap tightly and then place in a freezer Ziploc bag. To warm them unwrap from saran wrap, re-wrap in paper towel. Defrost in microwave for 30 seconds and then microwave until warm.

I wanted this to be edible for everyone’s pallet so I stayed clear of adding additional ingredients. If they were made for just myself and Chad to eat I would have added some Sriracha or served with some salsa for dipping. How would you put your own spin on this?
