Frozen Beef and Bean Burritos in Air Fryer

Frozen burritos are a popular convenience food that first became widely available in the United States in the mid-20th century. While it’s difficult to pinpoint the exact origin of the frozen burrito, it is believed to have been created by a woman named Anita Brenner, who was looking for a way to make and sell her popular homemade burritos to a wider audience. In 1947, Brenner started selling her frozen burritos under the name “Juanita’s Foods” in southern California, and they quickly became a hit. Other companies soon followed suit, and by the 1960s and 70s, frozen burritos had become a staple in grocery stores across the United States. Today, frozen burritos are available in a variety of flavors and styles, and are enjoyed by people all over the world as a quick and easy meal option.

El Monterey Family Size Beef and Bean Frozen Burritos can be considered a main course dish. They are a complete meal in themselves, containing a filling of beef, beans, and other ingredients, wrapped in a tortilla. You can serve them on their own or pair them with a side dish like a salad, guacamole, or rice and beans to make a more substantial meal. They are perfect for a quick and easy dinner or lunch, especially when you don’t have much time to prepare a meal from scratch.

Ingredients

• El Monterey® Family Size Beef and Bean Frozen Burritos

Directions

• Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
  
  
• Remove the desired number of frozen burritos from the packaging and place them in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching each other.
  
  
• Cook the burritos for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
  
  
• Use tongs or a spatula to carefully remove the burritos from the air fryer basket and transfer them to a plate.
  
  
• Let the burritos cool for a few minutes before serving. Be careful, as the filling may be hot!
  

Notes

• You can serve the burritos with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, and salsa.
• Cooking times may vary depending on the size and type of air fryer you are using. It’s best to check on the burritos periodically to make sure they don’t burn. Also, make sure to read and follow the instructions on the El Monterey packaging.
