How did I come up with this recipe? Well, I forgot to make my kolache dough and wanted to make breakfast with chicken breakfast sausages. Saw flour tortilla I bought a few days ago from Trader Joe's. Then I had a lightbulb moment... taquitos. Yeah, why not?
When buying sausages, look for something without sodium nitrites. I found the Never Any's chicken breakfast sausage at Aldi. It is the cleanest breakfast sausage I found so far and trust me... I've searched for new products all the time. You know, I just want something as a backup when life gets too hectic.
Let's get cooking!!!
