Air Fryer Burritos: master quick, crispy, and cheesy burritos in under 10 minutes of cooking. Perfect for a satisfying weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
- 4 8-inch flour tortillas
- 1 1/2 cups cooked rice
- 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can corn, drained
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 1/2 cup taco sauce
- diced tomato, avocado and sour cream for serving
Instructions
- Microwave the rice according to package directions, or prepare your favorite rice. You'll need about 1 1/2 cups, cooked.
- In a large bowl, mix together the cooked rice, black beans, corn, salsa, lime juice, and salt until well combined.
- Fill each flour tortilla with a generous cup of the filling and top with about 1/4 cup of the shredded Mexican blend cheese.
- Fold the burritos to seal in the filling tightly.
- Line your air fryer basket with lightly oiled foil or parchment paper.
- Place two burritos in the basket in a single layer. Top each one with a couple of tablespoons of taco sauce and 1/4 cup of shredded cheese.
- Air fry the burritos at 350 degrees F for 8-10 minutes, until the cheese on top is completely melted and bubbly.
- Repeat until all burritos are cooked. Serve immediately with diced tomato, avocado, and sour cream, if desired.

Notes
- Don't overfill your tortillas: too much filling makes them hard to fold and prone to bursting during air frying. A generous cup is just right.
- For extra crispiness, lightly brush the outside of the folded burritos with a touch of oil (like olive or avocado oil) before placing them in the air fryer.
- To ensure even cooking and melting, cook burritos in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Work in batches if necessary.
- If you're making these ahead, you can assemble the burritos, wrap them tightly in foil or plastic wrap, and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Air fry as directed, adding a few minutes to the cooking time if starting from cold. For food safety, make sure any meat fillings reach 165°F (74°C).
