Directions

1. Cook the Hash Browns: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Place the frozen Southern-style hash browns into the air fryer basket and cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Shake the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
2. Prepare the Sausage and Eggs: While the hash browns cook, heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the turkey sausage crumbles for 3-4 minutes, or until heated through. Set aside.
3. Scramble the Eggs: In the same skillet, scramble the eggs over medium heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook until the eggs are fully set and scrambled.
4. Assemble the Breakfast Bowls: Once the hash browns are done, remove them from the air fryer and divide them between two bowls. Top each bowl with scrambled eggs, turkey sausage crumbles, and a drizzle of Tostitos Con Queso Cheese Sauce.
5. Serve: Enjoy your Air Fryer Breakfast Bowls immediately while hot!
