Ingredients
3 Whole Large eggs, whisked5 Large Egg Whites˝ pound Roll Breakfast Sausage (I used HoneySuckle Breakfast Sausage)1 small Green Bell Pepper, diced2 tsp Mrs.Dash Table Blend SeasoningSalt and fresh ground pepper, to taste (optional, I usually don't add this)1 cup Kraft Shredded Mexican Blend Cheese16 small (6") Whole Wheat Flour Tortillas
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Generously coat a foil-lined, rimmed baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
Cook breakfast sausage in a 12" non-stick skillet until crumbled and completely cooked through. Transfer to a double layer of paper towels to drain while you prepare other ingredients.
Wipe skillet clean, coat with non-stick cooking spray and place over medium heat. Add diced green bell pepper and onions and cook, stirring for a couple of minutes until softened. Lower the heat to medium-low and add whisked eggs to the veggies. Cook, moving the eggs around with a wooden spoon until eggs are set up. Season to taste with Mrs. Dash seasoning and salt and pepper if using. Remove pan from heat and add cooked, crumbled sausage and shredded cheese. Stir to combine and set aside.
Warm the entire stack of tortillas in the microwave for about 20 seconds just to soften them slightly. Lay a tortilla on a cutting board or other work surface and place a couple tablespoons of the egg and sausage filling down the center of the tortilla. Sprinkle with some of the cheese. Roll the tortilla tightly and place seam side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Coat the tops of the taquitos with additional non-stick cooking spray.
Bake at 400 degrees for 8 minutes. Pull baking sheet out of the oven and use tongs to flip each taquito over to brown the other side. Return to the oven for an additional 3 minutes or till nicely browned on both sides.
To Flash Freeze Taquitos:
Place on a baking sheet, leaving space around each taquito, and place baking sheet in the freezer for at least 2 hours or more until thoroughly frozen. Transfer frozen taquitos to a freezer safe plastic storage bag and store in the freezer.
To reheat frozen taquitos - place desired number of taquitos on a paper towel lined microwave safe plate and cook on HIGH for 30 seconds. Turn taquitos over and cook an additional 15 to 30 seconds until warmed through.
Serving Size: Makes 16, 1 serving taquitos.
