To cook your Italian sausages, remove them from the refrigerator and allow them to thaw at least 10 minutes before cooking. You want them to hopefully thaw and come to room temperature. If seasoning, this would be where you add preferred seasoning.

Your sausages are now ready to cook! You can opt to throw them directly into your fryer basket and set them to cook at 360F. These sausages typically cook within 12 minutes (about 6 minutes per side).

Sausage and Egg Breakfast Burrito

Preparation Time: 5 minutes

Cooking Time: 30 minutes

Servings: 6

Ingredients:

• 6 eggs
• Salt
• Pepper
• Cooking oil
• ½ cup chopped red bell pepper
• ½ cup chopped green bell pepper
• 8 oz. ground chicken sausage
• ½ cup salsa
• 6 medium (8-inch) flour tortillas
• ½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions:

1. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs. Add salt and pepper to taste.
2. Place a skillet on medium-high heat. Spray with cooking oil. Add the eggs. Scramble for 2 to 3 minutes, until the eggs are fluffy. Remove the eggs from the skillet and set them aside.
3. If needed, spray the skillet with more oil. Add the chopped red and green bell peppers. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, once the peppers are soft.
4. Add the ground sausage to the skillet. Break the sausage into smaller pieces using a spatula or spoon. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until the sausage, is brown.

Or you can moisten the outside edge of the tortilla with a small amount of water. I prefer to use a cooking brush, but you can also dab with your fingers.
8. Spray the burritos with cooking oil and place them in the Air Fryer. Do not stack. Cook the burritos in batches if they do not all fit in the basket. Cook for 8 minutes at 345°F

10. If necessary, repeat steps 8 and 9 for the remaining burritos.
