Can you cook frozen burritos in air fryer?

Preheat the machine for 5 minutes at 400°F. Place the number of frozen burritos you want to cook inside the air fryer basket, sealed side up. Cook for a total of 15 minutes, flipping every 5 minutes. If desired, serve with additional dips on the side.

Are frozen burritos precooked?

Unless it explicitly states so on the packaging, I would not assume your frozen burrito has been fully cooked. Many frozen foods were only partially cooked before being frozen. Unfortunately, there is a lot of misinformation about this topic available on the internet.

How to fry a burrito?

Burritos can be cooked in a deep fryer. Most instructions for deep frying frozen burritos recommend thawing them first. If not, they may burn on the outside before reaching a safe internal temperature. (P.S. Air frying is a healthier way to eat your frozen burrito, but you probably already knew that.)

What to do if frozen burrito is not cooking fast enough on inside?

If the outside of your air fryer burrito becomes too browned, wrap it in foil and continue to air fry it. Wrapping burritos in foil takes longer to cook, but it protects the tortilla from burning. If your burrito is larger than 5-5.5 ounces, you will most likely need to do this (142-156 grams).

Easy to cook El Monterey Burritos In Air Fryer

Description

Today I’m going to use El Monterey Burritos, one of my favorite brands that I like to use when making burritos in the air fryer. Because it’s the quickest and easiest way to cook these frozen burritos, and it’s technically hands-free, you only need to turn them a few times while they’re cooking.

Ingredients

Scale

2–4 frozen El Monterey burritos 5 oz each

Instructions

Begin by preheating your air fryer for 5 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Now, place your frozen El Monterey burritos in the air fryer basket with the bottom “sealed side” facing up.
Preheat your air fryer to 350°F for 15 minutes.
Every 5 minutes, flip your El Monterey burritos so that the sealed sides are facing up again.
This method will help with any leaking by preventing it from sticking to the basket and leaking as much.
Finally, remove your El Monterey burritos from the air fryer and serve them hot with your preferred sides.
