    Can You Cook Trader Joe’s Burritos in an Air Fryer?

    Yes, Trader Joe’s burritos can be cooked in an air fryer. In fact, it is among the fastest and most practical way to cook them and it will yield excellent results.

    Although you might prefer to bake the burritos in the oven, you may lose time and have more cleanup. Cooking Trader Joe’s burritos in an air fryer will take almost the same time as waiting for your oven to be preheated, which is not practical when you are in rush.

    Why is Cooking Trader Joe’s Burritos in an Air Fryer a Good Idea?

    Cooking Trader Joe’s burritos in an air fryer will guarantee you the best texture on the outside of the burritos while evenly cooking them on the inside. This is difficult to accomplish in an oven. The air circulation in the air fryer is what helps cook the burritos more evenly.

    However, cooking your Trader Joe’s burritos in the oven is possible if you don’t own an air fryer, but the burritos will require longer to cook.

    How Do I Cook Frozen Burritos in An Air Fryer?

    1. Preheat air fryer to 400 F.
    2. Remove the Trader Joe’s burritos from their packages and place them in the air fryer basket.
    3. Air fry the burritos for around 6 to 8 minutes.
    4. Turn the burritos and air fry them for another 5 to 7 minutes.
    5. Serve the Trader Joe’s burritos with dipping sauce and French fries.

    Tips and Tricks

    • If you are cooking more than one Trader Joe’s burrito, make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket and leave some space between the burritos for the air to circulate properly and help them crisp up.
    • If your air fryer basket is small, consider cooking the Trader Joe’s burritos in batches.
    • There is no need to use any cooking oil spray in this recipe as the air fryer should do the job of crisping the outside of the burritos on its own.
    • Halfway through cooking your Trader Joe’s burritos, make sure to gently flip them with tongs.
    • Air fryer temperatures can vary depending on the make and model, which means the cooking time can vary slightly. As a result, I recommend that you start with less cooking time, check for doneness, and then add more time as needed.

    How Many Burritos Can I Place in an Air Fryer?

    The number of Trader Joe’s burritos that you can place in the air fryer basket depends on the size of the air fryer and burritos. However, you should keep in mind that you should not overcrowd the air fryer basket and leave space between the burritos. Overcrowding the air fryer basket may lead to your burritos not cooking evenly or they may not reach the level of crispiness you are seeking.

    Except for cooking fries in the air fryer, you should never overcrowd the air fryer basket and remember always to place your food in a single layer.

    Can I Make Trader Joe’s Burritos Ahead of Time in the Air Fryer?

    No, you should never make Trader Joe’s burritos in advance, as they will get soggy over time. However, if you have some leftover burritos that you want to store for later use, you can keep them in the fridge as shown below:

    1. Make sure your Trader Joe’s burritos have cooled to room temperature before going any further.
    2. Place the burriots in an air-tight container and then put them in the fridge.
    3. Properly stored, the burritos should last for up to 2-3 days in the fridge.

    Note: I recommend consuming your burrito leftovers as soon as possible for the best taste and texture.

    How Long Should You Cook Trader Joe’s Burritos in an Air Fryer?

    Cooking Trader Joe’s burritos can take between 12 and 15 minutes to cook in the air fryer at a temperature of 400 F. However, the cooking times may change depending on the air fryer brand and the size of the burrito.

    How to Make Trader Joe’s Burritos Crispy?

    • Make sure you do not overcrowd the air fryer basket when cooking the burritos to ensure even air circulation.
    • Make sure to turn your burritos halfway through cooking them.
    • Cook the burritos for a few minutes more if they don’t crisp up enough in the recommended time.
