Air Fryer Amy's Bean & Rice Burrito

Why You’ll Love It

Amy’s Bean & Rice Burrito is a hearty, satisfying classic made with organic pinto beans, brown rice, and vegetables wrapped in a soft flour tortilla. The air fryer takes it to the next level—crisp on the outside, warm and flavorful on the inside, with none of the sogginess you get from microwaving. It’s vegan-friendly, filling, and perfect for busy days.

Ingredients

• 1 Amy’s Bean & Rice Burrito (frozen; do not thaw)

• Optional: Olive oil or avocado oil spray for added crispness

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the Air Fryer

Set your air fryer to 370°F and let it preheat for 3 minutes.

Prepare the Burrito

• Remove the frozen burrito from its outer plastic wrap.

• Leave the paper wrapper on (optional—it helps retain moisture while the outside crisps).

• Lightly spray all sides of the burrito with oil for a golden, crispy finish.

Air Fry

• Place the burrito into the air fryer basket.

• Cook at 370°F for 14–16 minutes, flipping it halfway through at the 7-minute mark.

• If using the paper wrapper, remove it for the last 2–3 minutes of cooking to crisp the tortilla.

Check for Doneness

The burrito should be golden brown and crispy on the outside, with a hot, fully heated filling. Internal temperature should reach at least 165°F. Add 1–2 extra minutes if needed.

Pro Tips

• For a softer burrito, wrap it in foil for the first 10 minutes, then remove the foil for the remaining 4–6 minutes.

• Only cook one burrito at a time for best air circulation and even crisping.

• Want more flavor? Serve with salsa, vegan sour cream, or guacamole on the side.

Serving Ideas

• Slice in half and pair with:

  • Pico de gallo

  • Cilantro-lime rice

  • Black bean and corn salad

• Turn it into a burrito bowl:

  • Cut open the burrito and serve over a bed of lettuce or rice

  • Add diced tomatoes, avocado, and shredded lettuce

Storage & Reheating

Storage

• Refrigerate any leftover burrito (wrapped or in an airtight container) for up to 2 days.

Reheating

• Air Fryer: 350°F for 6–8 minutes

• Microwave: Wrap in a paper towel and heat on high for 1–1.5 minutes

FAQs

Can I cook more than one burrito at a time?

Yes, if they fit without touching, but you may need to add 1–2 minutes to the total cook time.

Is it okay to cook without the paper wrapper?

Yes. Removing the wrapper entirely gives you the crispiest result. Use foil if you're worried about the tortilla over-browning.

Can I cook it thawed?

It’s designed to be cooked from frozen, but if thawed, reduce cook time to 9–11

minutes and monitor closely.
