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

  1. 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.

  2. Transfer the sausage to a plate lined with paper towels, leaving any excess fat in the skillet.

  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.

  4. 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.

  5. Remove the eggs from the heat and fold in the cooked sausage.

  6. Lay the tortillas flat and divide the sausage and egg mixture evenly among them, placing it in the lower third of each tortilla.

  7. Top each portion with 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 1 tablespoon of salsa.

  8. Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll from the bottom up tightly into a burrito, tucking the filling in as you go.

  9. Brush the outside of each burrito lightly with olive oil.

  10. 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.

  11. Let the burritos rest for 2 minutes before serving.
