Primary Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized flour tortillas
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
- 4 cooked breakfast sausages or 4 slices cooked bacon, chopped
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/2 cup diced onions
- 1/4 cup salsa or hot sauce
- Olive oil or cooking spray for crisping
- Prepare the Filling: Scramble the eggs until just set but still moist. Sauté diced bell peppers and onions until tender. Mix the eggs, sautéed veggies, cooked sausage or bacon, shredded cheese, and salsa together to form a flavorful and creamy filling.
- Assemble the Burritos: Lay one tortilla flat and spoon a generous amount of the filling down the center. Fold in the sides and roll tightly to secure the filling inside and prevent it from leaking during cooking.
- Prep the Air Fryer: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray or brush with olive oil to prevent sticking. Also, coat the outside of the wrapped burritos lightly with olive oil or cooking spray for a crispy golden crust.
- Air Fry to Perfection: Place the burritos seam-side down in the air fryer basket. Cook at 370°F (188°C) for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the tortillas are crisp and the cheese inside is melted.
- Serve and Enjoy: Carefully remove the burritos from the air fryer and let them cool for a minute. Slice in half if desired and serve with your favorite toppings or dipping sauces.
Notes
- Don’t overfill burritos to prevent bursting during air frying.
- Warm tortillas roll easier and are less likely to crack.
- Check burritos for crispness after 7 minutes to avoid burning, as air fryer models vary.
- Space burritos evenly in the air fryer basket for consistent cooking and crispiness.
- Serve with sour cream, guacamole, or extra salsa as dipping sauces for added flavor.
