Best Way to Re-heat a Burrito
If you’re working with a refrigerated burrito (non-frozen burrito) and are just looking to re-heat it, wrap it in aluminum foil (to avoid a dry and hard tortilla), set the air fryer to 325° F and air fry for about 12-15 minutes, depending on how thick your burrito is. This is how we re-heat California Burritos, reheat a Chipotle Burrito and reheat a Taco Bell Burrito.
