Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Air Fryer Breakfast Burritos for Meal Prep.
Step 1
Start by heating a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Crumble the sausage into the skillet and cook it until it’s beautifully browned and no longer pink, which should take about 10 minutes.
Step 3
Once cooked, use a slotted spoon to transfer the sausage to a large bowl, leaving the flavorful drippings behind.
Step 4
Next, reduce the heat to medium and pour the beaten eggs into the same skillet.
Step 5
Sprinkle in a pinch of salt and pepper for seasoning.
Step 6
Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 3 minutes, then give them a gentle stir and continue cooking for another 2 minutes.
Step 7
When the eggs are just set, turn off the heat and give them one last stir, breaking up any larger pieces.
Step 8
Now, combine the fluffy eggs with the cooked sausage in the bowl, and add in the shredded cheese.
Step 9
Mix everything together until well combined, creating a delicious filling for your burritos.
Step 10
On a clean work surface, lay out one tortilla.
Step 11
Scoop about 1/4 cup of the savory sausage-egg mixture onto the bottom third of the tortilla, closest to you.
Step 12
Fold the edge of the tortilla over the filling, then tuck in both sides to create a neat envelope shape.
Step 13
Roll the tortilla tightly from the bottom up, placing it seam-side down on a baking sheet.
Step 14
Repeat this delightful process with the remaining tortillas and filling, imagining how tasty these burritos will be once they’re ready to eat.
Step 15
Once all your burritos are assembled, pop the baking sheet in the freezer for about 2 hours.
Step 16
This step helps them firm up nicely.
Step 17
After they’re frozen, transfer the burritos to a covered freezer-safe container, so they’re ready for whenever you crave a quick meal.
Step 18
When you’re ready to indulge in a warm burrito, preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Step 19
Place a frozen burrito seam-side down in the preheated air fryer and let it cook for about 5 minutes, or until it’s heated through and has a lovely golden brown exterior.
Step 20
Enjoy the satisfying crunch and the comforting flavors of your homemade burrito!.
