Pro Tips for the Best Results

Flip for Even Cooking

Turn at the halfway mark so both sides crisp up nicely.

Add a Light Oil Spray

Creates a toasted, golden-brown tortilla—like it came off the griddle.

Cut a Vent Hole (Optional)

This prevents the burrito from splitting and helps heat evenly.

Use a Meat Thermometer if Needed

The interior should hit 165°F for safe, evenly heated filling.
