Ingredients
 

For the burritos:

  • 12 strips turkey bacon
  • 1 medium yellow onion (chopped)
  • 12 eggs
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • 2 Tablespoons butter
  • 2 avocados (chopped)
  • 2 tomatoes (topped)
  • 1 ½ cups Mexican blend cheese
  • 6 10-inch burrito style tortillas

For the dipping sauce:

  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup mayo
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 Tablespoons basil
  • Salt

Instructions

  • In a large skillet, fry the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon to a paper towel lined plate. Once cool, chop the bacon.
  • Remove all but 1 Tablespoon of the bacon grease then add the chopped onion. Saute until onions are soft and translucent, 5-7 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and paprika. Melt the butter in a skillet set over medium low heat. Add the eggs and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the eggs are soft set and still a bit shiny. Remove to a plate.
  • To assemble the burritos, divide the fillings (bacon, onion, eggs, cheese, tomato, and avocado*) evenly over the 8 burrito shells, leaving 1.5 inches on the top and bottom free.
  • Fold the bottom and top in, then roll the burrito over the filling. Lay it seam side down. Repeat with remaining burritos.
  • Place 2-4 burritos seam side down in your air fryer, and fry at 390 degrees for 5 minutes. Flip and cook another 3-5 minutes or until golden and crispy.
  • For the sauce, whisk together all ingredients and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

  • If you're planning to freeze the burritos, omit tomato and avocado and serve on the side instead.
  • To freeze or refrigerate, wrap unfried burritos in saran wrap and an airtight container or baggie. Freeze for up to 3 months. See post above for cooking instructions.
