Breakfast Taquitos are a fun and delicious way to start your day, combining protein-packed eggs, savory sausage, and vibrant veggies all wrapped up in a crispy tortilla. These handheld breakfast bites are perfect for busy mornings, meal prep, or even a grab-and-go snack. The air fryer makes them irresistibly crispy without excess oil, while the melty cheese and seasoned filling keep them flavorful and satisfying. Pair with your favorite salsa or dipping sauce, and you’ve got a breakfast everyone will love!
Breakfast Taquitos
Ingredients:
- 8 small tortillas
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup low fat mild cheddar shredded cheese
- 1/2 cup cooked turkey or chicken sausage
- 1/2 cup diced peppers and onions
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil cooking spray
Directions:
- Brown sausage, onions and peppers over medium heat until cooked through- about 5 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
- Scramble the eggs in the same skillet over medium heat, adding salt and pepper to taste.
- Lay out the tortillas and evenly distribute the scrambled eggs, shredded cheese, and cooked sausage, and veggies onto each one.
- Roll up the tortillas tightly to form taquitos.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray and place the taquitos seam-side down in the basket.
- Lightly spray the tops of the taquitos with olive oil cooking spray.
- Air fry at 370°F (190°C) for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the taquitos are crispy and golden brown.
- Serve warm with salsa or your favorite dipping sauce.
