These fried breakfast taquitos are going to be your new favorite weekend morning breakfast. They're crunchy and filled with sausage, egg, cheese, and more.

Ingredients

⅓ cup canola oil, divided

½ medium green bell pepper, diced

6 ounces ground breakfast sausage

¼ teaspoon garlic powder

¼ teaspoon cumin

⅛ teaspoon chili powder

4 eggs

2 tablespoons milk

18 (6-inch) corn tortillas

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Method

Heat a large nonstick skillet on medium heat and add 2 teaspoons oil and the bell pepper and sauté for 3 to 5 minutes until they begin to soften.

Add ground sausage, garlic powder, cumin, and chili powder, and cook, stirring often while breaking the meat into small pieces, for about 5 minutes until meat has browned and cooked through.

Remove sausage and bell pepper from the skillet and set aside.

Whisk together eggs and milk in a bowl, then remove 3 tablespoons of the egg mixture and set aside to use as egg wash later.

Soft scramble the eggs on medium-low heat in a nonstick skillet, stirring frequently with a spatula. This should take about 5 minutes.

When cooked through, remove eggs from the skillet.

Warm tortillas by wrapping a stack of 4 to 6 tortillas in a damp towel and microwaving for 30 seconds.

To assemble the taquitos, add 1 tablespoon each of sausage mixture, scrambled eggs, and cheese to a warmed tortilla, then gently roll into a taquito shape and brush egg wash on the closure to seal.

Heat remaining oil in a large skillet on medium heat, then place 3 taquitos, seam side down, in the hot oil.

Fry, turning on occasion, until golden brown and crisp on all sides, which takes about two minutes.

Remove taquitos from the skillet and set on a wire rack to cool.

Repeat process with remaining taquitos, then serve and enjoy.
