Frozen Burritos – you can cook up to two at a time in a basket-style airfryer. Choose your favorites. I used these yummy cheddar cheese with beans and rice burritos.
That’s it! No additional ingredients are needed to heat up frozen burritos in your air fryer.
How to cook them
- Select the frozen burrito brand you’d like to use.
- Place the frozen burritos seal side up in the air fryer.
- Air fry at 350F/177C for 14-16 minutes. Flip the burritos over to be seal side down after they have cooked for 6 minutes.

Tips & Tricks
- I don’t suggest thawing frozen burritos before cooking. The filling may start to leak out as it thaws.
- Different brands of burritos and different air fryers may cause your cook time to be a bit less or a bit more. Always keep an eye on your frozen food in the air fryer and adjust the cook time as needed.
- Enjoy these on their own as a snack or a quick meal. A little bit of sour cream and salsa for dipping takes frozen burritos to the next level!
Reheating frozen Burritos
If you’ve already cooked your burritos but they’ve gotten cold and you need to reheat them, the air fryer is a perfect option. Heat cooked burritos at 350F for about 5 minutes or until they are warm again.
