How To Make Air Fryer Tex Mex Breakfast Burritos

Step One: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and scramble the eggs until just set. Remove from heat and stir in the cooked chorizo, shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, bell peppers, and cilantro for a flavorful, hearty filling.

Step Two: Lay a flour tortilla flat and spread about a tablespoon of salsa in the center. Spoon roughly a quarter of the egg mixture onto the tortilla, fold the sides in, and roll it up tightly into a burrito. Repeat this process for the remaining tortillas and filling.

Step Three: Preheat your air fryer temperature to 375 degrees F (190°C). Place the burritos seam-side down in a single layer in the basket and lightly spray with cooking spray. Set cook time for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wraps are golden brown and crispy on the outside.

Step Four: Enjoy your burritos warm with extra salsa, sour cream, or guacamole on the side for dipping. Perfect for a quick breakfast, brunch, or meal prep!

Easy Air Fryer Tex Mex Breakfast Burritos Recipe Tips

• Don’t Overfill: Leave space at the edges of the tortilla so burritos roll easily without spilling.
• Pre-Cook Meats: Make sure chorizo, sausage, or bacon is fully cooked before adding to the eggs.
• Use Medium Heat for Eggs: Scramble eggs gently to avoid overcooking or drying out the filling.
• Air Fry in a Single Layer: Avoid stacking burritos to ensure even crisping.
• Lightly Spray with Oil: A quick spray keeps the wraps golden and crispy without excess oil.
• Check Air Fryer Timing: Every air fryer is different—start checking at 5 minutes to prevent burning.
• Customizable Fillings: Add veggies, beans, or extra cheese to suit your taste.
• Make Ahead for Meal Prep: Assemble burritos and store in the fridge; air fry straight from chilled for a fast breakfast.

Storing, Freezing and Reheating Instructions

• Storing: Store cooled breakfast burritos in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep them wrapped individually to maintain crispiness when reheating.
• Freezing: Wrap burritos tightly in foil or plastic wrap and place in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating for best texture.
• Reheating: Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3–5 minutes until warmed through and crispy. Alternatively, microwave covered for 1–2 minutes, then crisp quickly in a skillet or air fryer.
