Recipe Summary

Prep Time: 10 Minutes
Cook Time: 25 Minutes
Total Time: 35 Minutes
Yield: 4 Burritos

Ingredients

• 4 oz ground sausage

• 2 tbsp chopped red onion

• 2 tbsp serrano pepper, chopped

• 2 tbsp red pepper, chopped

• 3 large Eggland’s Best eggs

• 4 (8-inch) flour tortillas

• Salt and black pepper to taste

• Cooking spray

Step-by-Step Directions

Step 1 – Cook the Sausage

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground sausage, stirring frequently, for 6 to 8 minutes until browned.

Step 2 – Add Vegetables and Eggs

Add the chopped red onion and peppers to the skillet. Cook and stir until softened. Crack in Eggland’s Best eggs, stir into the mixture, and cook for about 5 minutes until fully incorporated. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 3 – Warm the Tortillas

Heat tortillas in a skillet or directly over the grates of a gas stove until soft and pliable.

Step 4 – Assemble the Burritos

Spoon 1/4 cup of the sausage and egg mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Fold the top and bottom edges over the filling, then roll tightly to form burritos. Lightly mist each burrito with cooking spray.

Step 5 – Air Fry the Burritos

Place the burritos in the basket of an air fryer. Air fry at 400°F for 4 to 6 minutes. Flip the burritos, mist again with cooking spray, and air fry for another 2 to 4 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

To Reheat from frozen:

Preheat air fryer to 350°F. Load the basket with frozen burritos in a single layer. Spray lightly with cooking oil and cook for five minutes. After two minutes, turn burritos over and spray again with cooking spray. Let cook for another two to three minutes, remove and serve.

FAQs

Can I make these burritos without sausage?

Yes! You can easily make these burritos vegetarian by omitting the sausage and using other ingredients like black beans, spinach, or tofu as a filling. You can also use other proteins such as turkey sausage, bacon, or even grilled chicken if you prefer.

Can I make these burritos ahead of time for meal prep?

Yes, these burritos are perfect for meal prep. After assembling and air frying them, allow them to cool completely. Then, wrap them individually in foil or plastic wrap and store them in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze them for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply air fry or microwave them until hot.

Can I use different vegetables in the burrito?

Absolutely! Feel free to swap in your favorite vegetables. Some good options include mushrooms, spinach, zucchini, or even tomatoes. Just be sure to chop them small and sauté them until soft for the best texture.

How do I reheat frozen breakfast burritos?

To reheat frozen breakfast burritos, preheat your air fryer to 350°F, place the frozen burritos in a single layer in the basket, and cook for about 5 minutes. Flip them halfway through and spray them lightly with cooking spray to help them crisp up. If you're using a microwave, wrap the burrito in a damp paper towel and microwave on high for 1-2 minutes.

Can I add cheese to these breakfast burritos?

Yes, adding cheese is a great idea! You can sprinkle shredded cheddar, Monterey Jack, or any cheese of your choice over the sausage and egg mixture before wrapping the burritos. Just be mindful that adding cheese may make them a bit more melty, so you may want to air fry the burritos for an extra minute to ensure the cheese is melted.
