What Makes This Breakfast Burrito “Upgraded”?
Unlike typical burrito recipes, this version bursts with crisp bell peppers, creamy avocado, herby potatoes, and a mild heat from freshly diced jalapeño. The result is a breakfast burrito that feels lighter and more interesting than its greasy fast-food counterparts. Customize with your favorite fillings, but trust this winning combination to keep things exciting morning after morning.
Effortless Prep for Fresh Ingredients
Great flavor starts with well-prepped ingredients. Easily dice your onions, peppers, and potatoes evenly using the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper—it saves you major time and guarantees uniform bites. For perfectly cooked, fluffy scrambled eggs, use a nonstick skillet like the SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch to ensure easy release and no stuck-on mess.
If you love crispy breakfast potatoes without all the oil, toss them in the COSORI Air Fryer 9-in-1, Compact & Large 6-Qt for golden results in minutes. Meal prepping for the week? Portion your burritos for grab-and-go convenience using Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers, Set of 5 (3.2 Cup) to lock in freshness and transport with ease.
How to Build Your Best-Ever Breakfast Burrito
Start by prepping all your fillings: air-fried potatoes, quick-sautéed peppers and onions, and soft scrambled eggs. Lay out your warmed tortillas and layer on each ingredient, starting with the heartiest and finishing with cheese, avocado, salsa, and greens for a vibrant finish.
To wrap: fold the sides inward, then roll up tightly from the bottom. For a melty finish and crispy wrap, sear each burrito seam side down in your nonstick skillet, or pop them back in the air fryer for a couple of minutes.
Serving and Customization Tips
This upgraded burrito is a blank canvas! Pair with a fruit salad for a balanced brunch, or slice in half and serve with Greek yogurt or extra salsa. For extra heat, offer your favorite hot sauce on the side.
Vegetarian? Skip the meat and load up on extra beans or sautéed mushrooms. Looking for a lower-carb option? Swap regular tortillas for a whole wheat or low-carb wrap without sacrificing flavor.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Start by prepping the veggies. Use the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper for speedy and uniform potato, pepper, and onion dicing.
- Preheat your COSORI Air Fryer 9-in-1, Compact & Large 6-Qt to 400°F. Toss diced potatoes with 1 Tbsp oil, salt, and pepper, and air fry for 10–12 minutes, shaking halfway through for a crispy, golden finish.
- Meanwhile, heat 1 Tbsp oil in the SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch over medium heat. Sauté onion and bell pepper (plus jalapeño, if using) until softened, about 3–4 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add a touch of spray oil, then scramble the eggs over low heat until just set. Season with salt and pepper.
- Warm the tortillas briefly (in the skillet or microwave between sheets of Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll, 45 Square Feet) to prevent tearing.
- Assemble: Evenly divide potatoes, sautéed vegetables, scrambled egg, cooked sausage or bacon, cheese, avocado slices, salsa, and greens onto each tortilla. Fold in sides and roll up tightly.
- For a crispy finish, wipe out your skillet and return each burrito, seam side down, to the pan for 1–2 minutes until golden brown. Alternatively, place burritos back into the air fryer for 2–3 minutes.
- Serve fresh, or let cool and store in Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers, Set of 5 (3.2 Cup) for up to 3 days. Enjoy!
