Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture:
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Cook the scrambled eggs in a skillet, then mix in the sausage, cheese, bell pepper, and green onion.
- Assemble the taquitos: Warm the tortillas, spoon the egg mixture onto each tortilla, roll tightly, and place seam-side down on the baking sheet. Spray with olive oil.

- Serve: Enjoy hot with salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, omit the meat or use sautéed mushrooms or black beans.
