Pro Tips for the Best Results

Flip for Even Crisping

Turning halfway through prevents burnt spots and ensures both sides cook evenly.

Oil Spray Adds Extra Crunch

A light mist of cooking oil before frying enhances browning and texture.

Use a Meat Thermometer if Needed

Check the thickest part of the burrito—should reach 165°F.

Cut a Steam Vent (Optional)

Helps prevent the burrito from splitting or leaking during cooking.
