How to Reheat a Breakfast Burrito in Air Fryer
Reheating a breakfast burrito in an air fryer is a convenient and delicious way to enjoy a leftover meal without the hassle of microwaving or using a stovetop. The air fryer’s ability to circulate hot air around the food ensures that your burrito gets heated evenly, while the low-fat cooking method keeps it crispy on the outside and warm on the inside. In this article, we’ll guide you through the simple steps to reheat your breakfast burrito to perfection in an air fryer.
1. Prepare Your Breakfast Burrito
Before you start, make sure your breakfast burrito is ready to be reheated. If you have any additional fillings, like cheese or sour cream, add them back to the burrito now. Place the burrito in a microwave-safe container or wrap it in aluminum foil to prevent any spills during the reheating process.
2. Preheat Your Air Fryer
Set your air fryer to preheat to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that the burrito gets heated evenly once it’s placed inside the air fryer.
3. Place the Burrito in the Air Fryer
Open the air fryer basket and place the prepared burrito inside. If you wrapped it in aluminum foil, make sure it’s unfolded and placed on the basket’s bottom. If you used a container, position it on the basket as well.
4. Reheat for the Right Amount of Time
Reheat the burrito for 5-7 minutes, depending on its size and the amount of filling. Check the burrito halfway through the reheating process to ensure it’s heated evenly. If it’s not, continue to heat for an additional 1-2 minutes.
5. Remove and Serve
Once the burrito is heated through, carefully remove it from the air fryer using oven mitts or tongs. Let it sit for a minute to allow the steam to dissipate before unwrapping or opening the container. Enjoy your perfectly reheated breakfast burrito!
Additional Tips
– For an extra crispy texture, you can lightly spray the burrito with cooking spray before placing it in the air fryer.
– If you prefer a softer texture, you can cover the burrito with a piece of aluminum foil while reheating.
– For a healthier option, consider using a paper towel to absorb any excess oil or moisture after reheating.
By following these simple steps, you can enjoy a warm and delicious breakfast burrito any time you want, thanks to the convenience of your air fryer. Happy reheating!
