How long to cook frozen burritos in air fryer?

It’s simpler than you might imagine to make frozen burritos in an air fryer. For me, this Costco meat lovers burrito from the refrigerator section completely changed the game because it cooks in the air fryer in less than 15 minutes and has a warm, cozy, fully toasted, and crispy exterior.

How Do I Cook Frozen Burrito In An Air Fryer

See the recipe card below for the entire list of ingredients and directions.

Preheat your air fryer to 400F / 200C.

Place frozen burritos into the air fryer basket.

Air fry at 12-15 minutes from frozen, making sure to flip a couple of times during cooking.

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.

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

Can You Use Other Types of Frozen Burritos?

Yes, I have made bean, bean and cheese, and chicken burritos using this technique. My favorite is beef and beans, but they’re all great!

If you use 6 ounce frozen burritos, it will take a little longer to heat through to the center because I used 4 ounce frozen burritos for these instructions.
