Breakfast tacos are a staple of Tex-Mex cuisine, but they can be time-consuming to make in the morning. This recipe for air fryer breakfast tacos is a quick and easy way to get your breakfast taco fix without having to spend a lot of time in the kitchen. The air fryer cooks the tortillas quickly and evenly, and the sausage filling is cooked in a skillet on the stovetop.

Simply make a batch on the weekend and reheat them during the week for a quick and easy breakfast or lunch.
