A Fun Twist on Breakfast!
We have been having so much fun making these breakfast taquitos! I have always loved egg tacos. This recipe that’s that idea to the next level — rolling up the tortillas with cheese, egg, and sausage, then air frying them to a golden crisp exterior.
If you don’t have an air fryer, it’s okay! There are instructions in the notes on how to lightly fry these in a frying pan — so this recipe can be for you, too!
The sky is the limit with these. I kept the filling super simple to let the flavor of the sausage really shine.
If you haven’t tried Jones Dairy Farm’s line of all natural breakfast sausages and bacons, you’re missing out! I used Jones Dairy Farm No Antibiotics Ever All Natural Chicken Sausage. Besides being delicious, I love their simple ingredient lists — meat, salt, and spices. That’s it. No junk!

How to Make Air Fryer Breakfast Taquitos
Step 1: Brown the Jones Dairy Farm No Antibiotics Ever All Natural Chicken Sausage in a frying pan per package directions. Remove the sausage from the pan, and slice it to later add to the filling.
Step 2: In the same frying pan, add avocado oil, onions, and jalapeno. You can substitute bell peppers if jalapeno will make these too spicy for you! Saute the onions and peppers over medium heat for 5-7 minutes to soften.
Step 3: Into the skillet, add the whisked eggs, and scramble them with the vegetables.
Step 4: Return the sausage to the pan and mix it into the filling ingredients. Set the filling aside and wash out your skillet to use again.
Step 5: Cut about 1/4 of the width of the tortillas off. Add a tortilla to a skillet over medium low heat, and add a sprinkle of cheese onto the tortilla. Allow the tortilla to fully soften, but not toast.
Step 6: Take the softened tortilla out of the skillet, and add some of the filling mixture to the center of it. Roll the tortilla up tightly. The cheese should hold the taquitos together.
Step 7: Preheat your air fryer to 360º F for about 5 minutes. Add the taquitos into the air fryer, and air fry for 4-6 minutes, depending on desired crispiness.
Step 8: Top the hot taquitos with pico de gallo or salsa, avocado or avocado crema, sour cream, and chopped lettuce.
Don’t throw away the edges of those tortillas! It’s actually super simple to make Air Fryer Tortilla Chips.
