The best part about this dish is that it’s already made for you! You’re just heating things up and giving it a nice golden brown, crispy burrito.
The first time I made this dish I was pleasantly surprised.
There are different brands of burritos, and different sizes. For larger burritos, you may need to add a little extra cooking time. For smaller burritos you may need to decrease the cook time. I like El Monterey as they are one of the most popular frozen burritos and they taste amazing!
Either way, if you love Mexican food, this is one of the best frozen foods you can make in the air fryer.

How to Make Frozen Burrito in Air Fryer
- Remove the frozen burritos from the packaging and place the burritos in a single layer into the air fryer basket.
- Spray the outside of the burrito with olive oil for a crispier texture. For a soft burritos, omit the olive oil spray.
- Air fry the burritos at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Carefully remove the burritos from the air fryer and serve.
NOTE: This meal was made using a 5.8 qt 1700 watt basket style Cosori air fryer model. If you are using a different air fryer, you may need to adjust the cooking time slightly. Different air fryer temperatures are sometimes needed with other brands. Adjust slightly if needed.
