Determining the optimal cooking duration for reheating a pre-made, frozen Mexican-style wrap within an air fryer is essential for achieving a thoroughly heated interior and a desirably crisp exterior. Factors influencing this timeframe include the appliance’s wattage, the initial temperature of the frozen item, and the filling’s composition. An example would be needing 15-20 minutes at 350F (175C) for a standard sized frozen burrito to reach an internal temperature of 165F (74C).
Precisely controlled reheating minimizes the risk of foodborne illness associated with undercooked fillings and maximizes the textural appeal, preventing a soggy or unevenly heated result. Historically, alternative methods often resulted in textural compromises, such as steamed exteriors from microwaving or lengthy oven-baking times that could dry out the filling. The utilization of an air fryer offers a comparatively efficient and advantageous approach.
