Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Air Fryer Chorizo Breakfast Burritos.
Step 1
Begin by heating a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the chorizo.
Step 2
Cook it while stirring frequently until it transforms into a rich, dark red hue, which should take about 6 to 8 minutes.
Step 3
Once done, remove the chorizo from the skillet and set it aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, introduce the bacon grease and let it melt over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Toss in the diced potatoes and sauté them, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes until they begin to soften.
Step 6
Next, add the chopped onion and serrano pepper to the mix.
Step 7
Continue cooking and stirring until the potatoes are fork-tender, the onion is translucent, and the serrano pepper has softened, which should take around 2 to 6 minutes.
Step 8
Crack the eggs directly into the skillet and return the cooked chorizo.
Step 9
Stir everything together until the eggs are fully cooked and well incorporated into the potato mixture, taking about 5 minutes.
Step 10
Season with salt and pepper to your liking.
Step 11
Meanwhile, warm the tortillas in a separate skillet or directly over the gas stove grates until they become soft and pliable.
Step 12
Spoon approximately 1/3 cup of the chorizo mixture down the center of each tortilla.
Step 13
Fold the top and bottom over the filling, then roll it up to form a burrito shape.
Step 14
Lightly mist the burritos with avocado oil cooking spray and place them in the air fryer basket.
Step 15
Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Step 16
Air-fry the burritos at 400°F (200°C) for 4 to 6 minutes.
Step 17
After that, flip each burrito, give them another mist of cooking spray, and air-fry for an additional 2 to 4 minutes until they achieve a delightful golden-brown finish.
Step 18
Enjoy your deliciously crispy chorizo burritos!.
