Step 3: Air Fry to Perfection

• Cook at 370°F for 12–14 minutes, flipping halfway through

Pro Tips for the Best Results

Flip Halfway for Even Crisping

Turning ensures even browning and a fully cooked center.

Don’t Overcrowd the Basket

Air needs to circulate—cook in batches if needed.

Add a Liner for Easy Cleanup

Use parchment with holes if your burrito has cheese or sauce that may ooze out.

Want a Softer Tortilla?

Wrap in foil before air frying for a softer texture with minimal crisp.
