Air Fry A Frozen Burrito
Are you a fan of burritos but tired of waiting for them to defrost before cooking? Do you want to enjoy your burrito in a matter of minutes? Look no further than your trusty air fryer! Air frying a frozen burrito is quick, easy, and delicious. In this article, we’ll go over everything you need to know to air fry a frozen burrito to perfection.
Why Air Fry?
Traditional burrito cooking methods include the microwave or oven, but these methods can leave your burrito soggy or burnt. Air frying, on the other hand, offers a crispy exterior with a soft and warm interior. Air fryers also cook food faster and more evenly than traditional oven cooking methods at a lower temperature for a healthier meal.
Preparation
First, remove the frozen burrito from its packaging and place it in the air fryer basket. It’s important to separate any frozen burritos that may be stuck together to ensure even cooking. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F, which should take approximately 3-5 minutes depending upon the model of your air fryer.
Air Frying Time
Once the air fryer has preheated, place the basket with the frozen burrito inside the air fryer. Cook the frozen burrito for 12-15 minutes, turning it over halfway through the cooking process. If your air fryer does not have a basket, you can use an air fryer accessory or foil to create a basket. Be sure to check the manufacturer's instructions before using any air fryer accessory or foil in the air fryer.
Additional Tips
For best results, do not overcrowd the air fryer with too many frozen burritos. Leaving enough space in the air fryer basket ensures that the hot air circulates evenly, cooking the frozen burrito to perfection. If you’re cooking a frozen burrito for the first time in your air fryer, check the burrito frequently to ensure it doesn’t burn. Adjust cooking time based on your preference for crispy or soft burritos. Serve with your favorite toppings, such as avocado, salsa, or sour cream, and enjoy your crispy, perfectly cooked frozen burrito in minutes!
With these simple steps and tips, you can now air fry a frozen burrito quickly and easily. Enjoy delicious, crispy burritos in minutes without the wait. Happy air frying!
