Ingredients

  • ½ pound ground breakfast sausage
  • 6 eggs
  • 3 tablespoons milk (I used 2%)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • ¾ cup shredded Pepperjack cheese or Mexican cheese blend
  • 10 flour tortillas, slightly warmed for better rolling
  • Toppings: salsa, sour cream, pico de gallo

Instructions

  • Preheat air fryer to 380℉ (if your model has this option).
  • In a large skillet, add ground sausage and cook and crumble until no longer pink and cooked through. Drain grease, if needed, and then return sausage to pan. Set aside.
  • While sausage is cooking, in a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. In another skillet, add whisked eggs and scramble over low heat until fluffy. Add eggs to skillet with sausage and stir to combine.
  • Place tortillas on a flat surface and divide egg mixture evenly between each tortilla, then sprinkle each one with shredded cheese. Roll each tortilla tightly and secure with a toothpick.
  • Spray air fryer basket with cooking spray or line with parchment paper for easy clean up. Working in batches, place each rolled tortilla in a single layer, seam side down, onto basket. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown. Repeat with rest of tortillas.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings, if desired.

Notes

  • Leftover taquitos will last in the refrigerator for up to three days.
  • To freeze, wrap cooled taquitos plastic wrap or aluminum foil and then place in a freezer-safe container or bag and freeze for up to three months.
