Prep: 20 min · Cook: 30 min · Yield: 8 · Method: Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 12 ounces lean turkey breakfast sausage
- 3 cups frozen diced potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 8 8-inch flour tortillas
Cooking instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 3 minutes. Toss the frozen diced potatoes with olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the black pepper. Air-fry in a single layer for 12 to 15 minutes, shaking halfway, until browned and tender. (about 15 min) — 400°F
- Meanwhile, cook the turkey sausage in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat for 6 to 8 minutes, breaking it into small pieces, until no pink remains and it reaches 165°F (74°C). Transfer to a plate. (about 8 min) — Medium heat
- Whisk the eggs with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add them to the skillet and cook over medium-low heat, stirring gently, until softly set with no liquid egg remaining, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat. (about 4 min) — Medium-low heat
- Warm the tortillas briefly so they are flexible. Divide the potatoes, sausage, eggs, and cheese among the tortillas. Fold in the sides, roll each tortilla tightly, and place seam-side down. (about 5 min) — Not applicable
- For immediate cooking, preheat the air fryer to 375°F. Place burritos seam-side down in the basket without crowding and air-fry for 5 to 7 minutes, turning once, until crisp and the centers are hot. (about 7 min) — 375°F
- For freezing, cool the filling completely before assembling. Wrap each burrito tightly in foil, place in a freezer bag, and freeze for up to 3 months. To cook from frozen, remove the foil, wrap in a paper towel, microwave for 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 minutes until hot throughout, then air-fry at 375°F for 4 to 6 minutes until crisp. The center should reach 165°F. (about 6 min) — 375°F
