How do you make burritos in the air fryer?

Anybody can pop a frozen burrito in the air fryer – but let’s make our own! They’ll be healthier and taste better. I lay out the small tortilla and spread on cream cheese (that’s the glue to hold them shut). Then top with chicken, cheese and salsa! Roll and air fry.

There are a few tips to making a burrito that will stay together:
– Spread the cream cheese on the whole tortilla
– Put your toppings on 2/3 of the tortilla – leave one edge with cream cheese. That way when you roll it – the cream cheese edge serves as the glue to hold the burrito together
– Go light on the toppings – if you fill it too much – it’s too hard to roll
– Don’t forget the sauce! You want your burritos to be juicy and cheesy – be sure to put a little salsa in them too

How do you make an easy dipping sauce?

The easiest sauce I make is salsa & sour cream! Just mix them together in a bowl – it’s the best dip you’ll have! It’s great on chips, nachos and these air fryer burritos!
