In large skillet, cook sausage and onion over medium heat until sausage is no longer pink and onions are translucent. Stir in taco seasoning mix with water according to package instructions; add cayenne pepper if desired. Remove from heat; set aside. In a small skillet or pan, heat oil over medium heat until hot. With tongs, dip each tortilla in the hot oil for 1-2 seconds to soften, then transfer to paper towels and drain well. Preheat oven to 375 F. Spread 1 heaping tablespoon of filling across the center of each tortilla; roll tortilla tightly around filling. Secure the open flap of with a wooden toothpick.
