Ingredients
- 375 gram Lilydale® Breakfast Chicken Sausage 1 package
- 5 eggs large
- 1 cup cheddar cheese grated

- 10 corn tortillas
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- Cooking spray or olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°
- Place sausages on a parchment-lined baking sheet
- Bake sausages 20 minutes, turning halfway through
- While sausage is cooking, whisk the eggs, and scramble them over medium heat.
- Once cooked, slice sausages
- Put tortillas on a plate and cover with a damp paper towel. Warm in the microwave about 1 minute until pliable
- Assemble the taquitos: Divide the eggs, cheese, sausage, and spinach over the tortillas
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper
- Roll each tortilla around the filling and place, seam side down, on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Lightly brush with olive oil or spray with cooking spray. (This will keep them from cracking)

Notes
- If you substitute flour tortillas for the corn tortillas, use the small fajita sized flour tortillas.
- When using corn tortillas, work quickly to roll them up and get them into the oven so that they don't dry out.
- To freeze breakfast taquitos, after baking, allow them to cool completely. Pack them into freezer bags and store them in the freezer. To reheat, microwave until warm, or put them on a baking sheet in the oven for 20 minutes.
