Tips for Perfect Breakfast Taquitos

• Warm tortillas briefly before rolling so they do not crack.
• Do not overfill them or the filling can spill out while cooking.
• Brush with melted butter before baking for extra crunch.
• Freeze cooked taquitos for an easy grab-and-go breakfast.
• Serve with salsa, guacamole, sour cream, hot sauce, or fresh fruit.
