Ingredients
Burrito Filling:
- 4 strips bacon
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk or unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
- 1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes adjust to your taste
- 2 tablespoons unsalted or vegan butter
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or vegan cheese
- 2 large flour tortillas
- 1/2 each avocado sliced
- salt and pepper to taste
Optional Veggie Toppings:
- diced tomatoes
- fresh corn kernels
- chopped red or yellow bell peppers
- sautéed mushrooms
- onions
- asparagus
Instructions
For the Bacon:
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F. Place the bacon strips inside the basket and cook for approximately 6 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy. Alternatively, you can cook the bacon using your preferred method.
For the Eggs:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, soy sauce, and red chili flakes until thoroughly combined.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Pour in your egg mixture, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Allow the eggs to set for about 30 seconds before adding cheese. Stir gently and cook until the eggs reach a soft yet firm consistency.
To Assemble the Burritos:
- Place the tortillas flat on plates or a board. Distribute the avocado slices evenly atop each tortilla, seasoning lightly with salt and pepper.
- Spoon the cheesy eggs into each tortilla and layer with the crispy bacon. Add any desired veggies on top. Fold the sides of the tortilla to close the burrito.
For a Crispy Finish:
- To get a golden finish, return the folded burritos to the skillet (already emptied of eggs) over medium heat. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until browned.
