These breakfast burritos are filled with browned breakfast sausage, soft scrambled eggs, melted cheese, and crisped in the air fryer for a golden, crunchy exterior without deep frying. They reheat well, making them a solid make-ahead option for busy mornings.
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound ground breakfast sausage
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1/4 cup salsa
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Method
-
Heat a 9-inch skillet over medium heat and cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it into small crumbles, until browned and no longer pink, about 6 to 8 minutes.
-
Transfer the sausage to a plate lined with paper towels, leaving any excess fat in the skillet.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
-
Melt the butter in the same skillet over medium-low heat, pour in the egg mixture, and cook, stirring gently and frequently, until just set but still soft, about 3 to 4 minutes.
-
Remove the eggs from the heat and fold in the cooked sausage.
-
Lay the tortillas flat and divide the sausage and egg mixture evenly among them, placing it in the lower third of each tortilla.
-
Top each portion with 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 1 tablespoon of salsa.
-
Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll from the bottom up tightly into a burrito, tucking the filling in as you go.
-
Brush the outside of each burrito lightly with olive oil.
-
Place the burritos seam-side down in the air fryer basket, leaving space between them, and air fry at 370°F until golden and crisp, about 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
-
Let the burritos rest for 2 minutes before serving.
