Ingredients
  

8 large flour tortillas

6 large eggs

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup diced hatch green chiles (fresh or canned)

1/2 cup cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage (optional)

1/4 cup finely chopped onions

1 avocado, sliced (for topping)

1/4 cup sour cream (for serving)

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Salsa (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Filling: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent (about 3-4 minutes). Crack the eggs into a bowl, whisk with salt and pepper, and pour into the skillet with the onions. Cook softly, stirring frequently, until the eggs are just set but still fluffy.

      Mix in the Goods: Once the eggs are cooked, transfer them to a mixing bowl. Add the shredded cheddar, diced hatch chiles, and crumbled sausage (if using). Stir until well combined.

        Assemble the Taquitos: Place a couple of tablespoons of the egg mixture in the center of each flour tortilla. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling, folding in the sides as you go to create a compact taquito.

          Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the rolled taquitos seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush a little olive oil on top of each taquito to ensure they get crispy.

            Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy.

              Serve Hot: Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve with slices of avocado, a dollop of sour cream, fresh cilantro, and salsa on the side for dipping.
