**How Long to Cook a Frozen Burrito in an Air Fryer**
I love a simple, delicious meal that I can prepare quickly and easily, especially on busy weeknights. One of my favorite go-to meals is a frozen burrito cooked in an air fryer. It’s so easy and convenient, and the burrito comes out crispy and delicious every time. In this blog post, I’ll share my tips and tricks for cooking a frozen burrito in an air fryer, so you can enjoy this quick and easy meal too.
**The Perfect Frozen Burrito**
Frozen burritos are a great option for quick and easy meals. They’re fully cooked and can be heated up in the microwave or oven. Air fryers, however, can take frozen burritos to the next level of tastiness.
Air fryers cook food by circulating hot air around the food, which results in a crispy exterior and a tender interior. This makes them perfect for cooking frozen burritos. The hot air circulates around the burrito, cooking it evenly and quickly.
In just a few minutes, you’ll have a crispy, delicious burrito that’s perfect for a quick and easy meal.
**How to Cook a Frozen Burrito in an Air Fryer**
Cooking a frozen burrito in an air fryer is easy. Here are the steps:
- Preheat your air fryer to 375 degrees Fahrenheit or 190 degrees Centigrade.
- Place the frozen burrito in the air fryer basket.
- Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the burrito is heated through and the outside is golden brown.
- Remove the burrito from the air fryer and let it cool for a minute or two before eating.
**Tips for Cooking a Frozen Burrito in an Air Fryer**
Here are a few tips for cooking a frozen burrito in an air fryer:
- If your air fryer has a preheat setting, use it to preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees Fahrenheit or 190 degrees Centigrade before you add the burrito. This will help the burrito cook more evenly.
- Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket. If you’re cooking more than one burrito, cook them in batches.
- If you want your burrito to be extra crispy, cook it for a few minutes longer.
- If you’re using thinly sliced meat in your burrito, like chicken breast, cook it first in a skillet or on a grill before you add it to the burrito.
**Expert Advice**
Here are some additional tips and expert advice for cooking a frozen burrito in an air fryer:
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the burrito. The burrito is done cooking when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit or 74 degrees Centigrade.

- If you’re using a small air fryer, you may need to cook the burrito in batches.
