Preheat the air fryer to 360°F (182°C) for 3–5 minutes.
A hot basket helps crisp the tortilla.
Prep the burritos: Remove any plastic wrap. If the burrito is wrapped in paper, discard it. Lightly mist the burrito with cooking spray or brush with a tiny bit of oil for extra crunch (optional).
Arrange in the basket: Place burritos seam-side down in a single layer.
Leave space between them for airflow. Avoid stacking.
Cook at 360°F (182°C) for 12–16 minutes, flipping halfway. Start checking at 12 minutes.
Burritos should be evenly browned and heated through with no icy center.
Check the center: If your burrito feels hot but the center is cool, reduce heat to 340°F (171°C) and cook 2–4 more minutes. This helps the inside heat without over-browning the outside.
Optional cheesy top: In the last 1–2 minutes, sprinkle shredded cheese over the burrito. Return to the air fryer just until melted.
Rest briefly: Let burritos sit 2 minutes before eating.
The filling settles and finishes heating.
Serve: Plate with salsa, hot sauce, sour cream, or guacamole. Add a squeeze of lime for brightness.
