Breakfast Taquitos
These breakfast taquitos are filled with smoky bacon, soft scrambled eggs, melted cheese, and a bit of salsa. They’re a smaller fun twist on a breakfast burrito and easy to prepare ahead, freeze, and reheat for busy mornings.

Notes
To reheat in oven: Place on a baking sheet and heat oven to 350. Cook for about 20 minutes while the oven heats. (This saves time versus preheating the oven first).
To reheat in microwave: Microwave for about 45 seconds to 1 minute.
