Steps

1. 1

   Air-fry the potato gems or tater tots at 190°C/375°F for 7–8 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking. If cooking the bacon at the same time, remove the potatoes earlier when finished.

2. 2

   Air-fry the bacon at 190°C/375°F for 15–20 minutes, or cook it at the same time as the potatoes and remove the potatoes first. Set the cooked bacon aside.

3. 3

   Season the lean beef or chicken sausages generously with all-purpose seasoning.

4. 4

   Cook the seasoned sausages with the diced onion in a pan over medium-high heat. Once cooked, set the sausage mixture aside.

5. 5

   Lower the heat under the same pan and spray it with cooking oil.

6. 6

   Add the whisked eggs and egg whites to the pan. Stir and fold continuously until fluffy, then season with salt.

7. 7

   Place the cooked potato gems in a large bowl and mash them.

8. 8

   Add the cooked sausage and onion mixture, scrambled egg mixture, and diced chives to the mashed potatoes.

9. 9

   Dice the cooked bacon and add it to the bowl. Mix everything well to combine.

10. 10

    Warm one tortilla, then add one-tenth of the filling and some light cheddar cheese.

11. 11

    Roll the tortilla into a burrito and toast it. Repeat the filling, rolling, and toasting process with the remaining nine tortillas.

12. 12

    Store the burritos in the refrigerator or freezer, and reheat when ready to eat.
