Frozen Burrito in the Air Fryer
mylifeinbalancegroup.com/frozen-burrito-air-fryer/The best, fastest, and easiest way to get perfectly cooked frozen burritos. Crispy outside, hot inside, and ready in 15 minutes or less.
Recipe Makes (Approximate): frozen burritos
Equipment
- air fryer
- spray cooking oil safe for air fryers
- Tongs
Ingredients
- 2 frozen burritos (any brand, any flavor)
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 400° Fahrenheit.
- Once air fryer is preheated, remove basket and lightly spray basket with cooking oil. Place frozen burrito in air fryer basket, seam-side down, and return basket to air fryer.
- Air fry burrito 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, remove basket and carefully flip burrito over so seam faces up. Return basket to air fryer.
- Air fry burrito 5 minutes more. After 5 minutes, remove air fryer basket and check burrito for doneness. If burrito is not yet hot and crispy, return basket to air fryer.
- Continue air frying burrito, seam-side up, checking doneness every 2 minutes (not optional). See Notes below for suggested total cook times based on burrito size.
- Remove burrito from air fryer when burrito is crispy but not burnt. Let burrito cool slightly, then serve with guacamole, sour cream, salsa, or cilantro if desired.
Recipe Notes
- Cook times and temperature are based on cooking frozen burritos right out of the freezer, without thawing or defrosting them first.
- This method will work for any brand, any flavor, any number, and any size of frozen burritos.
- If you're cooking multiple burritos, be sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket. The air has to be able to circulate fully to cook the food properly.
- Larger burritos may need longer cook times, while smaller burritos may need shorter cook times. Cook times will vary from air fryer to air fryer.
- Checking the burrito every 2 minutes is not optional - cooking it without checking frequently will guarantee a burnt burrito.
- For crispier burritos, lightly spray the tops of the burritos with cooking oil after placing them in the air fryer basket.
Suggested Total Cook Times
- Smaller burritos (5oz): approximately 10 minutes
- Larger burritos (6oz or more): approximately 12 to 13 minutes
