Crispy Breakfast Taquitos

Crispy Breakfast Taquitos are a quick and easy way to start your day. They're made with low-carb tortillas, eggs, cheese, salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and cilantro. The taquitos are cooked in the air fryer until the tortillas are golden brown and the eggs are cooked through. They're then sliced into 1-inch pieces and garnished with cilantro.

The genesis of this recipe can be traced back to a fateful morning when I found myself with a fridge full of leftover ingredients and a ravenous appetite. With a pack of low-carb tortillas staring me down, I knew I had to get creative. As I pondered my options, my gaze fell upon a carton of eggs, a block of cheddar cheese, and a trio of condiments: salsa, guacamole, and sour cream. In a moment of inspiration, I decided to combine these humble ingredients into a breakfast that would both satisfy my hunger and fit my dietary restrictions.

Prep time: 5 | Cook time: 6 | Serves: 1

Ingredients

• 1 low-carb tortilla
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup salsa
• 1/4 cup guacamole
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• Chopped cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat your air fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and cheese.
3. Spread the egg mixture evenly over the tortilla.
4. Top with the salsa, guacamole, and sour cream.
5. Roll up the tortilla tightly and place it in the air fryer basket.
6. Cook for 4-6 minutes, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the eggs are cooked through.

Why It Works

• The air fryer cooks the taquitos evenly and quickly, resulting in a crispy tortilla and perfectly cooked eggs.
• The low-carb tortillas keep the taquitos low in carbs and high in protein.
• The combination of salsa, guacamole, and sour cream adds flavor and moisture to the taquitos.
