Air Fryer Breakfast Burritos

The way we cook has been completely transformed by air fryers, which provide a healthier alternative for frying while maintaining the desired crispy quality. Using an air fryer for breakfast burritos results in less mess, faster cooking times, and more reliable outcomes. You can always taste a warm, flavorful filling within a nicely toasted tortilla.

Ingredients You’ll Need

To prepare these delicious breakfast burritos, gather the following ingredients:

• 1 medium potato: Provides a hearty base and complements the eggs and sausage.
• 1 tablespoon of oil: Helps to crisp up the potatoes.
• 1 teaspoon of salt and ½ teaspoon of pepper: Essential for seasoning.
• ½ pound of raw breakfast sausage: Adds a rich, savory flavor.
• 6 flour tortillas: Soft and pliable, perfect for wrapping around the filling.
• 4 large eggs and ¼ cup of whole milk: Create a creamy, fluffy scramble.
• 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese: Melts beautifully, adding a cheesy goodness to every bite.

METHOD:

1. First, prepare the potatoes by slicing them into tiny cubes that should measure around ½ inch. Combine oil, salt, and pepper and toss them. The potatoes should be cooked for approximately 8 minutes, or until they are golden and beginning to crisp, in an air fryer set to 400°F (200°C). Take out and put aside.
2. Cook the Sausage: In a pan over medium heat, brown the sausage while the potatoes are cooking. As it cooks, break it up into crumbles so that it becomes well browned. When finished, take out of the skillet, leaving the fat behind.
3. To scramble the eggs, mix together the eggs, milk, and a little amount of salt and pepper in a bowl. Scramble the eggs in the mixture until they are frothy and light in color, then pour it into the pan with the sausage fat. Put them away.
4. To assemble the burritos, place the cooked potatoes, sausage,
5. scrambled eggs, and shredded cheddar cheese into a large mixing bowl. Evenly distribute the mixture among the tortillas. Tightly fold the tortillas into burritos; if necessary, secure with a toothpick.
6. Use an oil mister to lightly spritz the burritos in order to air fry them. Put them in the air fryer and cook for 7 to 8 minutes at 380°F (190°C). To make sure the burritos cook evenly, flip them halfway through. Take them out of the air fryer until they are crispy and golden brown.
7. Present and Savor: You may now offer your morning burritos! Although they may be chilled and frozen for later use, they are best consumed warm.

Some Advice on Freezing and Heating
The fact that these burritos may be frozen for later use is one of their finest characteristics. Each burrito should be carefully wrapped in aluminum foil before being placed in a plastic freezer bag to be frozen. For a maximum of three months, they may be kept in the freezer. When you’re ready to consume them, heat the frozen burritos in your air fryer for 10 to 11 minutes, making sure they are well done, at 370°F (185°C).

Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) to reheat leftover burritos. After adding a little oil and placing the burritos in the fryer, cook for approximately three minutes, or until they are well warmed through.
