Why we love it
For a quick and easy breakfast, you can’t go wrong with these bacon, egg, and cheese taquitos. It is the classic combination of crispy bacon, fluffy eggs, and gooey cheese mixed in a delicious creamy sauce to bring it all together.
And once all the ingredients are tucked into a tortilla wrap to make a taquito, well it makes a hearty and handy package to prepare in advance and serve for breakfast or a snack.
It is also one of those recipes that is very easy to make. Start off by chopping and cooking the bacon till it sizzles, and then add in the eggs and cheese.
Then simply make the sauce and assemble the taquitos. Now, you can prepare these in the oven or in the air fryer, if you have one handy.
The air fryer cooks it faster, so I’ve included temperature instructions for it as well so that you don’t end up overcooking them.
The taquitos can also be easily customized with various toppings and condiments to suit personal preferences.
Whether you prefer a tangy salsa, red pesto, caesar dressing, mayonnaise, spicy garlic hot sauce, or a dollop of creamy guacamole, the possibilities for combinations are endless.
So whether you’re a breakfast lover, looking for a snack, or planning a quick and delicious lunch or dinner, these bacon, egg, and cheese taquitos are sure to leave you craving for more. (You can also get my recipe for smoked salmon taquitos here.)

You can also serve it with a side like this air fryer sweet potato chips or pea salad with corn and feta.
How to store it?
You can easily prepare these bacon, cheese and egg taquitos a few hours in advance, and leave it in the fridge.
When ready to eat, you can eat it as is or warm it back up in the microwave for 1-2 minutes.
