Ingredients

4 slices bacon
4 large eggs
¼ cup milk (or unsweetened almond milk)
1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari)
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes , to taste
2 tablespoons unsalted butter (or vegan butter)
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (or vegan cheese)
2 large tortillas
.5 avocado , sliced
Salt and pepper , to taste
Optional veggies toppings: diced tomato , fresh corn kernels, diced red/yellow bell pepper, sauteed mushrooms, onions, or asparagus

Instructions

Preheat an air fryer to 350F. Place the bacon slices in the air fryer basket and cook for 6 minutes, flipping halfway through. The bacon should be crispy all over. If you don't have an air fryer, cook the bacon with whatever your preferred method is.
In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes.
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the eggs and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for about 30 seconds, until the edges are set, then sprinkle with the cheese. Continue to cook, stirring gently, until just set.
Place the tortillas on a large cutting board or plates. Thinly slice half an avocado over each tortilla, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Divide the eggs between the tortillas, then top with the bacon slices. If using veggies, add them on top. Fold closed.
If you like, sear the burritos in the empty skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes per side, until crisp and golden.
