Air Fryer Mini Chorizo Breakfast Burritos
Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup Mexican-style chorizo
  • 1 tablespoon bacon grease
  • 1/2 cup diced potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons chopped onion
  • 1 serrano pepper, chopped
  • 2 large eggs
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 4 (8 inch) flour tortillas
  • avocado oil cooking spray
Instructions
1
Cook chorizo in a large skillet over high heat, constantly stirring and monitoring its transformation into a deep crimson hue, approximately 30 minutes to 45 minutes.
2
Remove the chorizo from the skillet and set it aside for later use.
3
Next, melt the rendered bacon fat in the same skillet over high heat. Add diced potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until they reach a tender state that can be pierced with a fork, the onion becomes translucent, and the serrano pepper softens, taking anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes.
4
Add diced onion and serrano pepper to the skillet, stirring constantly until they reach a state of complete softness. Then, introduce eggs into the mixture and stir until they are fully incorporated and cooked through, taking about 10 minutes.
5
Season the potato mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
6
In a separate process, warm tortillas in a large skillet or over the open flames of a gas stove until they become soft and pliable.
7
Place 1/3 cup chorizo mixture in the center of a tortilla, then fold the top and bottom edges over the filling to create a compact shape.
8
Roll the tortilla into a burrito-like form and lightly spray with cooking oil before placing it in the air fryer basket.
9
Repeat this process to create the remaining burritos.
10
Air-fry the burritos at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 4 to 6 minutes.
11
Flip each burrito over and mist with cooking spray before air-frying until they reach a lightly browned state, taking an additional 2 to 4 minutes.
