Easy On-The-Go Breakfast Taquitos

We finally moved into our new house and are beginning to make ourselves at home. Moving is never easy and is especially challenging with two little ones but we are making it work. The first days were a little hairy in terms of schedule and mealtimes and bedtimes were a mess. This is all to be expected so I’m rolling with it but still managing to hold fast to the thing that grounds us as a family—food!

We’re on day four in our new home have managed to have family dinner every night but with so much unpacking still left to do, breakfast has been more grab-and-go. I’m not talking pop-tarts and donuts here, in fact, I’m getting pretty good at whipping up portable breakfasts that keep everyone full and satisfied. Just this AM I made these delicious breakfast Taquitos that were a snap to make and so delicious. They were such a big hit (even for my picky 3-year old) that I already have a request for them tomorrow morning. I’m happy to oblige because they literally took 5 minutes to make and kept them full until lunchtime. Even cooler, these little taquitos are the perfect breakfast to eat on the run or in the car—real food fast!

Customize your taquitos by adding chopped veggies, crispy bacon or your favorite cheese. Stuff, roll and go!
