FAQs

Can I use corn tortillas instead of flour?
Yes, corn tortillas work well too, but they may tear more easily, so handle them gently.

Can I make the filling ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the filling the day before and store it in the refrigerator. Just assemble and cook the burritos when you’re ready.

How long does it take to cook more than two burritos at once?
Cooking capacity may vary by air fryer model. Ensure they are not overcrowded, and you may need to increase cooking time by a few minutes for larger batches.
