Ingredients
  

8 small flour tortillas

1 cup scrambled eggs (about 4 eggs)

1 cup cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage

½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

½ cup diced bell peppers (any color)

¼ cup green onions, chopped

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon chili powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Cooking spray or olive oil spray

Instructions
 

Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the scrambled eggs, cooked sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, diced bell peppers, green onions, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

    Assemble Taquitos: Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling mixture in the center of each tortilla. Roll the tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides as you go to secure the filling. Place seam-side down on a plate.

      Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.

        Spray and Cook: Lightly spray the taquitos with cooking spray to ensure they become crispy. Place them in the basket of the air fryer in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd. You may need to do this in batches.

          Air Fry: Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 6-8 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping.

            Serve: Once done, carefully remove the taquitos from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving.

              Prep Time: 15 minutes | Total Time: 25 minutes | Servings: 4-6

                - Serving Suggestions: Serve the taquitos with a side of salsa, sour cream, or avocado for dipping. You can also add a sprinkle of fresh cilantro or extra green onions for garnish on top.
