Well, no longer does that need to be the case! These breakfast burritos are the perfect solution. Just make a batch of them ahead of time. Then pop one in the air fryer so it’s hot and ready by the time you’re walking out the door. Super easy!
Best of all, breakfast burritos are super customizable so you can fill these with all your favorite breakfast staples or change it up every week so you never grow tired of them.

How to Make Air Fryer Breakfast Burritos
Step 1. Cook the eggs. Cook the eggs for about 2 minutes, then mix in the cheese and cook another 2 minutes.
Step 2. Assemble fillings. Add all of the fillings to each tortilla, leaving room around the edges.
Step 3. Wrap burritos. Carefully fold the top and bottom of the tortilla in and roll it into a burrito.
Step 4. Air fry. Place seam side down in the air fryer, lightly spray with oil, and cook for 4 minutes. Flip and cook another minute or two.
Recipe FAQs
Absolutely! If you want to make several burritos ahead of time for quick meals throughout the week, wrap the uncooked burritos in foil, and pop them in the freezer.
If you have leftovers, allow them to cool. Then place them in an airtight container, wrap them in plastic wrap, or keep in a sealable plastic bag. They should last 2 to 3 days in the fridge if they’ve already been air-fried.
Just pop them back in the air fryer for a couple of minutes! If you’re reheating from frozen, they’ll probably need a bit of extra time.
When you roll up your burritos, the tortillas might be a little stiff or dry. Fix this by wrapping them in a slightly damp paper towel and microwaving for 10 to 15 seconds, or until they’re soft and pliable.
