Introduction

Start your day with these delicious and easy-to-make Air Fryer Breakfast Burritos. Packed with savory sausage, eggs, and fresh peppers, they offer a tasty and satisfying breakfast that comes together quickly. The air fryer gives them a perfectly crispy outside without the mess of frying.

The image shows a basket lined with crumpled brown parchment paper holding six square breakfast burritos with golden-brown, slightly crispy tortillas. Two burritos are cut open to reveal the filling, which has scrambled eggs mixed with pieces of sausage, red and green bell peppers, and herbs, showing a colorful and textured inside. The basket rests on a white plate with small brown speckles. Around it, on a white marbled surface, there is a clear glass of orange juice with a slice of orange on the rim, a cup of black coffee in a patterned mug, a silver spoon, and a small white plate with blue stripes holding two burrito pieces and a strip of bacon. A blue and white striped cloth napkin is partly visible nearby. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

3 large eggs
4 ounces sausage
2 tablespoons red onion, diced
2 tablespoons serrano chili, finely chopped
2 tablespoons red bell pepper, diced
4 8-inch flour tortillas
Salt, to taste
Ground black pepper, to taste
Nonstick cooking spray, as needed

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, for 6 to 8 minutes until browned and cooked through.
Step 2: Add the red onion, red bell pepper, and serrano chili to the skillet. Continue cooking and stirring until the vegetables are softened.
Step 3: Crack the eggs into the skillet and stir continuously until the eggs are fully cooked and incorporated with the sausage and vegetables, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste.
Step 4: Warm the flour tortillas in a skillet or directly over a gas flame until soft and pliable.
Step 5: Spoon about 1/4 cup of the egg and sausage mixture down the center of each tortilla. Fold the top and bottom of each tortilla over the filling, then roll tightly into a burrito shape.
Step 6: Lightly mist the outside of each burrito with nonstick cooking spray and place them in the air fryer basket.
Step 7: Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 4 to 6 minutes. Flip the burritos over, spray again lightly with cooking spray, and air fry for an additional 2 to 4 minutes until the burritos are heated through and lightly browned.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of shredded cheese inside the burritos before rolling.
Substitute sausage with bacon or chorizo for a different savory twist.
Use whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas to suit dietary preferences.
Add diced tomatoes or avocado after air frying for a fresh contrast.

Storage

Store leftover burritos in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 3 to 5 minutes to keep the outside crispy. You can also wrap them in foil and heat in the oven at 350°F for 10 minutes.

How to Serve

A basket lined with light brown parchment paper holds several golden-brown rectangular breakfast burritos, with one burrito cut open to reveal scrambled eggs mixed with green herbs, red bell peppers, and browned sausage pieces inside; the basket sits on a white speckled plate placed on a rustic wooden table. Nearby, there is a white plate with dark blue lines containing a piece of bacon and a burrito cut in half showing the same colorful filling. A ceramic mug filled with black coffee with horizontal dark stripes is on the left side, next to a silver spoon, and a glass of orange juice with a slice of orange inside is at the top left. A blue-and-white striped cloth napkin is on the right, and an egg carton is partially visible on the wooden table bottom right. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I freeze these breakfast burritos?

Yes, you can freeze the cooked and wrapped burritos. Wrap tightly in foil or plastic wrap and freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat in the air fryer or oven directly from frozen, increasing the cooking time slightly.

Can I use other vegetables in the filling?

Absolutely! Feel free to add or substitute vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or zucchini to customize the burritos to your taste.
