Scramble the eggs: Whisk eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Cook over medium heat, stirring gently until just set and slightly glossy. Remove from heat so they don’t overcook later.
Cook fillings: Brown sausage or bacon until crisp. Sauté onions and peppers in a little oil until soft.
If using potatoes or hash browns, cook until golden and tender. Season with a pinch of salt and your favorite spices.
Warm tortillas: Microwave for 15–20 seconds or heat briefly in a dry skillet. Warm tortillas are easier to fold without tearing.
Assemble: Lay a tortilla on a board.
Add a line of potatoes, scrambled eggs, meat, veggies, and shredded cheese. Spoon on salsa or drizzle hot sauce. Keep fillings in the center and don’t overstuff.
Fold and roll: Fold the sides in, then roll from the bottom up, tucking as you go.
Aim for a snug, sealed burrito. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
Lightly oil: Brush each burrito with a thin layer of oil or spray. This helps them turn golden and crisp in the air fryer.
Air fry: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Place burritos seam-side down in a single layer. Cook 6–9 minutes, flipping halfway, until the tortilla is crisp and the cheese inside is melted. Thicker burritos may need an extra minute.
Serve: Rest 1–2 minutes.
Slice in half if you like. Serve with salsa, sour cream, avocado, or a squeeze of lime.
