How to cook frozen burrito in air fryer?

Frozen burritos in an air fryer are delicious and crispy. You can make all types of burritos from bean burritos, breakfast burritos, and frozen burritos in the air fryer.

Here’s how you cook frozen burrito in air fryer.

Ingredient:

• 4-5 frozen burritos (any brand you like)

 

Firstly, I preheat my air fryer at 360F degrees for 2-3 minutes. Preheating the air fryer allows the frozen burritos to cook evenly.

After that process remove your frozen burritos from the package and place them in the air fryer basket or oven in a single layer don’t overcrowd. Place your burrito on the seam side up.

Then cook them at 360F degrees for 13-15 minutes or until they are warm through and golden brown from the outside. If you want extra crunch in your burrito you can air fry them 2-3 minutes more.

Finally, remove the frozen burrito from the air fryer and let them sit for a minute or two. Cut them into half and serve with your favorite toppings and dipping sauce.
