    Top Tips

    • For the best results, do not overcrowd the air fryer basket so that the hot air circulates well and they crisp up.
    • If your air fryer is small, you may need to cook these in batches.
    • No extra oil is needed for this recipe.
    • Using tongs, gently turn the burritos over during cooking.
    • Air fryer temperatures can vary depending on the make and model. I recommend starting with less cook time, checking for doneness, then adding more time as needed.

    Storage

    • Don’t make ahead – I don’t recommend making these ahead of time. Cook and serve immediately, otherwise, they get soggy.

    FAQs

    How Long To Cook Frozen Burritos In An Air Fryer?

    Wondering how long to air fry frozen burritos?

    This depends on the cooking temperature and how many burritos you are cooking. Based on a 400 degrees F / 200 degrees C temperature, you should cook your frozen burritos for 12-15 minutes.

    Smaller or larger burritos will need a little less or more time. If you are only cooking 1 burrito, then check for doneness at about 11 minutes.

    How To Make Sure The Burritos Are Cooked

    First, you want to make sure that you don’t overcrowd the basket. But also do not stack them on top of each other to make sure they cook through.

    How To Make These Cook Up Crispy

    • First, you want to make sure that you don’t overcrowd the basket so that the air circulates and crisps them up.
    • Also, it’s important that you turn them a couple of times through the cooking time.
    • Cook for a few minutes more if they don’t crisp up enough in the recommended time.

      1. Wow, you posted how to cook a frozen Burrito in an Air Fryer too and now you think that you somehow are the only one who could create such an impeccable meal.

        Um no, get over yourself, jackass.

        I’m confused; you didn’t create anything and yet you are butt hurt over how to heat up a frozen Burrito…hahaha.

      It does work, but don’t understand why I should have to flip something over in an air fryer? Isn’t that the purpose of an air fryer, to be able to cook all the way around equally?

    3. 5 stars
      Great way to use my airfryer. My son loves burritos and I will be showing him how to do it this way!

    4. 5 stars
      I had no idea you could cook frozen burritos in the air fryer! I typically just use a microwave to warm them up – I feel like this way will make them taste a lot better heated up! Can’t wait to try this soon!

    5. 5 stars
      Never thought about doing this in my air fryer! My frozen burrito came out perfectly cooked with a toasty tortilla 🙂
