For extra flavor, consider adding diced onions, bell peppers, or jalapenos to the sausage while cooking. Feel free to substitute the cheddar cheese with your favorite cheese blend. To prevent the tortillas from tearing, warm them slightly in a dry skillet or microwave before filling. Serve with your favorite salsa, hot sauce, or sour cream.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, crumble the sausage. Cook until browned and no longer pink (approximately 10 minutes). Drain any excess grease and transfer the sausage to a large bowl using a slotted spoon.
02
StepScramble the Eggs: Reduce the heat to medium. Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are set but still slightly moist (about 5 minutes). Break up any large pieces with a spatula.
03
StepCombine and Cool: Pour the cooked eggs into the bowl with the sausage. Add the shredded cheddar cheese and stir gently to combine. Let the mixture cool slightly before assembling the burritos (approximately 15 minutes).
04
StepAssemble the Burritos: Lay one tortilla on a clean, flat surface. Spoon approximately 1/4 cup of the sausage-egg mixture onto the bottom third of the tortilla, closest to you. Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla over the filling. Fold in both sides of the tortilla towards the center, creating an envelope shape. Tuck and roll the burrito tightly, then place it on a baking sheet seam-side down. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
05
StepFreeze the Burritos: Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until the burritos are firm.
06
StepTransfer and Store: Once frozen solid, transfer the burritos to a covered, freezer-safe container or freezer bag for longer storage (up to 2 months).
07
StepAir Fry to Perfection: When ready to cook, preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
08
StepCook the Burritos: Place the burrito, seam-side down, in the preheated air fryer. Cook for 5 minutes, or until heated through and golden brown.
