Copycat Whataburger Taquito Recipe
Because sometimes you just want a Taquito for breakfast but don't have a Whataburger around. Well at least not close - ours is a good thirty minutes away 🙁
This happens every few months so I figured out how to recreate them a few years ago. Usually we have stuff on hand to create some that will be pretty close.
They are actually pretty simply to make. Saute breakfast sausage (like Jimmy Dean) and then scramble in eggs. This time we used some local Bradleys' sausage. You can even add bell peppers and onions if you want but the traditional Taquito recipe is only sausage and eggs.
Whataburger uses flour tortillas. We didn't have any so we used some corn tortillas. They work just as well. Trick is a lot of the flavor that mimics Whataburger comes from the cheese - it is basic American cheese.
And of course you need the Whataburger Picante sauce. Next time you are there, stock up. We grab doubles every time we go. If you don't have any, you can use regular picante or salsa as well!
