Ingredients
Steps
- 1
Cook and crumble breakfast sausage in a skillet, then scramble eggs in the same pan until just set and combine with the sausage, cheese, jalapeños, and chili powder.
- 2
Warm tortillas in the microwave for 15 seconds so they're pliable and won't crack when rolling.
- 3
Place about 2 tablespoons of filling along the edge of each tortilla and roll up tightly, securing with a toothpick if needed.
- 4
Arrange taquitos seam-side down in the air fryer basket in a single layer and spray generously with cooking spray.
- 5
Air fry at 390°F for 8-10 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and crispy all over.
- 6
Remove toothpicks and serve with guacamole, pico de gallo, and sour cream.
Tip: The higher temperature is essential for getting that shatteringly crispy tortilla shell. Make sure the seam side faces down at the start so the edges seal as the cheese melts.
