Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 8 slices Turkey Bacon Regular bacon or vegetarian alternatives can be used.
  • 1 small Yellow Onion Chop finely for even cooking.
  • 6 large Eggs Larger eggs yield fluffier texture.
  • 1/4 cup Milk Any plant-based milk is a great substitute.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Adjust to taste depending on the saltiness of bacon.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Smoked Paprika Optional for a milder taste.
  • 2 tablespoons Butter Olive oil can be used for a lighter version.
For Assembly
  • 2 medium Avocados Optional if making burritos for freezing.
  • 1 cup Tomatoes Omit if freezing and add fresh afterward.
  • 1 cup Mexican Blend Cheese Substitute with cheddar or other cheese varieties as desired.
  • 4 10-inch Burrito Size Tortillas Larger tortillas make rolling easier.
For the Dipping Sauce
  • 1 cup Sour Cream Provides a classic creamy contrast.
  • 1/4 cup Mayo Can be adjusted for personal preference.
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice Fresh lemon juice is the best choice.
  • 1 tablespoon Basil Fresh or dried works well.

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Medium skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the turkey bacon until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon and chop it into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In the same skillet, add the finely chopped yellow onion and sauté over medium heat until soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and smoked paprika. Melt butter in the skillet, pour in the egg mixture, and cook until soft-set and fluffy, about 4-5 minutes.
  4. On each tortilla, layer bacon, onions, scrambled eggs, cheese, diced tomatoes, and avocado. Fold in the sides and roll tightly.
  5. Preheat air fryer to 390°F (200°C). Place burritos seam-side down in the basket. Fry for 5 minutes, flip and fry for an additional 3-5 minutes until golden.
  6. Combine sour cream, mayo, lemon juice, chopped basil, and salt in a bowl for the dipping sauce. Chill until ready to use.
