I love Mexican food and I love breakfast so I decided to combine the two and came up with these easy Spicy Breakfast Taquitos. They are super fun to eat even your kids will love them.
These Spicy Breakfast Taquitos take just a bit of prep time but once that is all done you just assemble and bake. I uses a cookie sheet and placed my warmed tortillas on it then started building my taquitos.
I tried not to fill the tortillas too full so I could still roll them up! This would be a great time to get they kids involved they would love building their own taquito! Now if you don’t like spice leave out the taco seasoning in the scrambled eggs and your good to go.
As I mentioned everything is pretty much precooked so once they go into the oven its just a matter of heating so the cheese gets all melty and gooey! Like all my recipes feel free to change the ingredients to suit you and your family’s tastes.
Serve these with your favorite toppings. I served mine with green and red salsa, fresh chopped cilantro, sliced green onions and of course sour cream. If your looking for an easy salsa recipe try my recipe for White Girl Salsa. It is so good and another easy recipe. Do you have a favorite Mexican recipe? Share it with me!
