Equipment
- Skillet
Ingredients
- 4 soft flour tortillas
- ½ pound breakfast sausage preferably mild or spicy based on your preference
- 1 tablespoon of butter
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped green onion
- 4 slices of processed cheese
- A few tablespoons of Picante sauce
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
- Start by gathering all the ingredients together. This helps streamline the cooking process and makes your life easier.
Step 2: Cook the Sausage
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until it’s golden brown. This typically takes about 5-7 minutes. Make sure to break it apart as it cooks to ensure even browning. You want the sausage to be crispy around the edges for extra flavor.
Step 3: Scramble the Eggs
- Whisk together the eggs, milk, and chopped green onions in a bowl. Once the sausage is done, remove it from the skillet but keep the pan on the heat. Add the butter into the skillet until it melts, then pour in the egg mixture. Stir occasionally for about 3-4 minutes until the eggs are set but still fluffy. Don’t overcook them; they should be soft and tender.
Step 4: Assemble the Taquitos
- It’s time to bring it all together! On each tortilla, place a portion of the scrambled egg and sausage mixture, topped with a slice of cheese. Roll them up tightly, tucking in the ends.
Step 5: Cook the Taquitos
- In the same skillet, you can add a tiny bit more butter or oil if necessary. Place the rolled taquitos seam-side down in the pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side. You want them toasted and golden brown, with the cheese perfectly melted inside.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy!
- Serve your homemade Whataburger taquitos hot, alongside picante sauce for dipping. Enjoy every bite!
Notes
- Fresh Ingredients Matter: Always opt for fresh eggs and high-quality sausage. It makes a difference.
- Experiment with Cheese: While processed cheese works well, try cheddar or pepper jack for different flavor profiles.
- Don’t Rush the Scramble: Take your time with the eggs. They should be soft and creamy, not rubbery.
- Make Extra: These freeze well! Prepare a double batch and store them for a quick breakfast option later.
- Customize with Add-ins: Feel free to add diced bell peppers, tomatoes, or even avocado to the filling for extra nutrition and taste.
