Egg and Cheese Taquitos - A Quick and Tasty Breakfast Option
Egg and Cheese Taquitos are the perfect quick and delicious breakfast option for busy mornings.
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 8 small flour tortillas
- Optional: additional fillings like sautéed onions, bell peppers, cooked bacon, or jalapeños
- Cooking spray or oil, for pan-frying
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and season them with salt and pepper. Whisk until well combined.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Once the butter is melted, pour in the whisked eggs and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are softly scrambled. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Lay the flour tortillas on a clean work surface. Spoon a portion of the scrambled eggs onto the center of each tortilla. Top with an equal amount of shredded cheddar cheese and any optional fillings you prefer.
- Carefully fold the tortillas in half, pressing gently to seal in the filling.
- In the same non-stick skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of butter or a small amount of oil over medium heat. Place 2 to 3 filled tortillas in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
- Cook the taquitos for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy, and the cheese has melted. Use a spatula to carefully flip the taquitos halfway through cooking.
- Remove the cooked taquitos from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess grease. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas, adding more butter or oil to the skillet as needed.
- Serve the Egg and Cheese Taquitos warm with your favorite dipping sauces, such as salsa, sour cream, or guacamole. Enjoy!
