Instructions:

- Add the diced Vienna sausage and cook for about 3-5 minutes until lightly browned.
- Add the chopped green pepper to the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes until softened.
- Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until just wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Season with a dash of salt. Remove the mixture from the skillet and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined.
- In the same skillet, spray with a bit more cooking spray if needed, then pour in the beaten eggs.
- Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are scrambled but still moist.
- Return the sausage mixture to the skillet with the scrambled eggs. Stir to combine everything evenly.
- Lay out the tortillas on a flat surface.
- Spoon a portion of the sausage, spinach, and egg mixture onto each tortilla (about 2-3 tablespoons per tortilla).
- Sprinkle a little bit of shredded cheddar cheese over the filling.
- Roll up each tortilla tightly to make taquitos. Place them seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased with cooking spray.
- Lightly spray the tops of the taquitos with cooking spray to help them crisp up.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy.

Yes, you can substitute Vienna sausage with cooked chorizo, turkey sausage, or diced ham for a different flavor. Adjust cooking time as necessary.
Store any leftover taquitos in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven until heated through for best results.
Corn or flour tortillas both work well for taquitos. Flour tortillas tend to be softer, while corn tortillas hold up better when crispy, so choose based on your preference.
Cooking Tips:
- To save time, you can prepare the sausage, spinach, and egg filling the night before and store it in the refrigerator. Assemble and bake the taquitos the next day for a quick meal.
- For a spicier version, add some chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the egg mixture.
- You can use whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas as a healthier alternative.
- To make the taquitos extra crispy, use a wire rack on the baking sheet to allow hot air to circulate around the taquitos.
- Serve the taquitos with additional salsa, sour cream, or guacamole for dipping.
