Ingredients
  

4 large flour tortillas

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup cooked black beans (drained and rinsed)

1 cup diced bell peppers (your choice of colors)

1 cup diced tomatoes

1 cup cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage (or a plant-based alternative)

4 large eggs

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Salsa or hot sauce (for serving, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Tortilla Bowls:

    - Begin by preheating your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).

      - To shape the tortillas into bowls, gently mold each tortilla over a small, oven-safe bowl or slightly crumple the edges to create a bowl effect.

        Air Fry the Tortilla Bowls:

          - Lightly spray the outside of each tortilla with cooking oil to ensure they crisp up nicely.

            - Place the molded tortillas in the air fryer basket, making sure they are spaced out to allow for even cooking.

              - Air fry the tortillas for about 5-7 minutes, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown and achieve a crispy texture.

                Prepare the Breakfast Filling:

                  - While your tortilla bowls are frying, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

                    - Add a splash of cooking oil, then toss in the diced bell peppers. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they soften and become fragrant.

                      - Stir in the cooked black beans and crumbled breakfast sausage, mixing until everything is warmed through. Season the mixture with smoked paprika, garlic powder, as well as salt and pepper to taste.

                        Cook the Eggs:

                          - In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs along with a pinch of salt and pepper.

                            - Scramble the eggs in a small non-stick skillet over medium heat, cooking until they reach your preferred doneness.

                              Assemble the Breakfast Bowls:

                                - Once the tortilla bowls are crisp and ready, carefully remove them from the air fryer. Fill each bowl with the sautéed vegetable and sausage mixture, distributing it evenly.

                                  - Top each bowl with scrambled eggs and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously over the top.

                                    - For a refreshing touch, add diced tomatoes on top if desired.

                                      Final Touch:

                                        - Garnish each bowl with freshly chopped cilantro for a burst of color and flavor. Serve with a side of salsa or hot sauce for those who enjoy an extra kick.
