These Santa Fe Breakfast Taquitos are loaded with eggs, breakfast sausage, fresh peppers, tomatoes, cilantro, & jalapeno for those who like a little heat.
Finding a breakfast that 12 kids all like is unbelievable. Finding a meal I can prepare in less than 20 minutes is a rarity. Combining the two is out of this world. And that’s what these Breakfast Tacos are—a miracle. Serve them with my homemade Colorado Chile Sauce, and you have the best breakfast on hand. This meal won’t disappoint your family and is easy to prepare in just 20 minutes.
They’re perfect for mornings when I need to get the kids out of the door and off to school. They’re easy to assemble; just throw them in the oven to bake; they come out goldenlicious.
Do you know the secret to that classic crispy outer shell? Use olive oil cooking spray. I lightly spray the taquitos right before placing them in the oven, resulting in a delicious breakfast taquito cooked to perfection.
What’s fun about these Breakfast taquitos is that you can vary the ingredients to your taste. So play around and make it your own. Your family will love to start their day this way, and you’ll love how easy it is.

Taquitos for breakfast are a great idea.
I LOVE that cooking tip about spraying PAM on the tortillas prior to baking. Such a great way to crisp ’em up without dousing them in oil. And these breakfast taquitos look incredible! I adore Mexican-inspired breakfasts (chilaquiles, burritos, huevos rancheros) and these taquitos now top that list 🙂
