Air Fryer Burrito
- Perfect results cooked in an Air Fryer! Frozen burritos in the air fryer come out toasty and crisp on the outside and hot and delicious on the inside. Most frozen burritos can be microwaved in their wrapper, but microwaves often leave cold spots in the middle of the burrito, plus they don’t make them crisp. The air fryer delivers perfect results every time!
- Burritos are a quick and convenient snack! When you get the munchies, cooking a frozen burrito in the Air Fryer is the perfect way to make a tasty snack on the go.
How to Cook Frozen Burritos in Air Fryer
Air Fryer Burritos are super easy to cook up!
- Preheat the air fryer.
- Place three frozen burritos in the air fryer basket, being careful to leave enough space for the hot air to circulate around them.
How Long to Cook
Cook frozen burritos for 18 to 20 minutes or until the burritos are fully cooked and browned on the outside.
What to Serve With Burritos
Burritos can be dipped in this homemade salsa, a tangy copycat taco bell quesadilla sauce, or served along side some cheesy taco pockets. Add some tortilla chips, and this yummy grilled corn guacamole. Or include a tasty and crunchy mexican corn salad for a welcome addition.
Time Saving Tips
- Always preheat the air fryer before adding anything to the basket for perfect results. As soon as the hot air hits the food, it immediately crisps the outside and seals in the juices, no matter what you’re cooking; meat, veggies, snack foods, or even whole eggs!
- For this recipe, make batches of burritos and keep them warm in the oven. Reheat quickly in the Air Fryer before serving if needed.
- Store them in the refrigerator in an airtight container and they will be good for about 4 days. Simply reheat them in the air fryer and serve hot.
