Cut up the potato into cubes. (about 1 ½ inches in size) Cover in oil and salt & pepper, and then put them in the air fryer basket. Cook for 8 minutes at 400 degrees.
Cook the sausage in a skillet on the stove. Break apart, so it’s crumbly. Once cooked, take the sausage out of the skillet.
Whisk the egg into the sausage grease and scramble it.
Mix together the sausage, eggs, potatoes, and cheese in a bowl.
Put the mixture into a flour tortilla. Fold. Spray the basket of the air fryer with nonstick spray and then add the folded burrito.
Add the burrito to the basket and cook for 5 minutes at 380 degrees. Flip and cook for another 3 minutes.

Be sure to flip the tortilla in the air fryer. This is a must to get the entire chimichanga crispy.
When folding the tortilla, fold so that the seams are closed. If not, the mixture will leak out, causing a mess.
Adding more ingredients like diced onions or fresh cilantro is a fast and simple way to boost the flavor.
Don’t forget the toppings! This is where each person can make their chimichanga taste unique and different.
