Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large flour tortillas (burrito size)
- 6 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup cooked breakfast sausage crumbles or chopped bacon
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or Mexican blend
- 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/4 cup diced onions
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
- Olive oil spray or avocado oil spray
Instructions
- Step 1: Sauté the Vegetables In a medium non-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced bell peppers and onions. Sauté for about 3 to 4 minutes until they are soft and slightly translucent.
- Step 2: Scramble the Eggs Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet with the vegetables. Season with salt and pepper. Stir gently with a spatula until the eggs are just set but still slightly moist. Stir in your cooked sausage or bacon crumbles. Remove from heat immediately to avoid overcooking.
- Step 3: Assemble the Burritos Lay the flour tortillas on a flat surface. Divide the egg mixture evenly among the four tortillas, placing it in the center. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese over the egg mixture on each tortilla.
- Step 4: Fold and Seal Fold the sides of each tortilla inward toward the center. Roll the tortilla tightly from the bottom up to create a sealed burrito. Ensure the ends are tucked in well so the filling doesn’t leak out during cooking.
- Step 5: Air Fry to Perfection Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray the burritos with olive oil spray on all sides. Place the burritos in the air fryer basket, seam-side down. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy.
