5-Ingredient Taquitos Make Life Worth Living

If you wake up after a wild night out and crave something fried, you aren’t weird—actually you’ve probably had a pretty successful evening, no? The great news is that taquitos are Mexico’s answer to your hangover-breakfast needs, and as a handheld breakfast, they’re totally something you can eat on the couch while recovering from last night’s escapades. If you’ve never had a taquito before, you may be wondering, What is a taquito?, and, How are taquitos different from tacos? A taquito, which translates to “small taco,” varies from a taco both in shape and in size. Sure, they both have a tortilla base, but the tortilla in a taquito is rolled up during the cooking process and fried to crisp perfection. And totally something you can cook at home.Our version consists of just five ingredients, most of which are likely already fridge staples. Just cook the sausage until golden brown, make an omelet in the excess sausage juices with a little butter, then layer the sausage, egg, and a heaping portion of shredded cheese on the tortilla, making sure to roll the tortillas up before placing them in the pan. You’ll know they’re done when the cheese has melted and the tortillas have turned golden brown. Dunk in salsa or sour cream, or serve plain. 5-Ingredient Taquitos
