Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).

Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking oil to prevent sticking.

Place 2 to 4 frozen burritos or chimichangas in the basket, ensuring they are not touching each other.

Air fry the burritos for the first 5 minutes without opening the basket.

After 5 minutes, flip the burritos over and cook for another 5 to 8 minutes for even crispiness.

Check the burritos every 2 minutes after the initial 10 minutes to avoid burning, looking for a golden brown color.

When ready, the outside should be crispy with slight browning on the edges.

For extra crispiness, spray a light coat of cooking oil on top before finishing.

Let the burritos cool for a minute or two before serving.

Prepare toppings like sour cream, fresh salsa, cilantro, or guacamole.
