Breakfast Taquitos

1 dozen eggs

1 # sausage

½ # or more cheese (your choice)

flour tortillas (about 20)

Scramble the eggs, season to taste, fry sausage, crumble and drain, and grate cheese (I usually use mild cheddar or a mixture). Mix all ingredients together and put a spoonful on a flour tortilla, roll and place in (cheap) sandwich bag, roll up and seal taquito in the bag. I then store mine in a large ziploc bag and freeze until ready to microwave and eat.

You can make any variation of this by adding a jar of salsa, hash browns, onion, bell pepper, garlic, mushrooms, chopped ripe olives, anything that you think you might like will be great. We have made them so many different ways, but the above is my kid's favorite, plain and simple. The more that you add also makes that many more taquitos. Good Eats!
