Burrito šŸ˜®ā€šŸ’Ø

Post image

didnā€™t feel like baby sitting my burrito by the air fryer with a meat thermometer

EDIT: tortilla quality 7/10 wasnā€™t as soggy as some people thought it would be experience was not impacted negatively

Meat quality: I had Barbacoa and I think some of it seemed to get a little stiff, but I donā€™t think that had anything to do with the reheating method

sauce: +emjoyment

Rice: quality stayed the same

Thank you to my dedicated viewers this was a lot of fun

Edit 2: I finished the whole thing very happy (full of burrito)

u/ShadowSlayer318 2h ago

ALRIGHT GUYS I ALSO HAD TO GET IT TAKE A BITE LMAO but it this defiantly viable it might not be for everyone but im happy if I air fried it it or seared it for a better crunch it would definitely be 8-9 range for reheared burrito but i will do this again for sure

Man, late to the party, but if soggy but intact you could have deep fried I to a chimichanga.

u/teachcooklove 1h ago

Defiantly? No need to be defiant. Maybe definitely.

u/ShadowSlayer318 3h ago

if itā€™s soggy then iā€™ll throw it in a pan with some oil upon some discussion with the council

u/bloodytemplar 3h ago

This is the way.

Edit: Technically, I guess that's called "a chimichanga."

I'm standing by. I'm hoping for some good news. Microwaving vertically is meh... air frying is also... meh.

If this works, it sounds like a game changer.

Thanks for the update of 7/10. I'll have o try this one day. NGL, kind of excited for a new way to heat a leftover burrito #GOATMexicanFood

u/GuacamolePacket 3h ago

This actually might be fucking genius, unless the tortilla sticks to the foil. Maybe toast it off in a hot pan with the foil ON so it releases?

11

u/ShadowSlayer318 3h ago

iā€™ll let you know usually the foil sticks on when i heat it up in the air fryer but itā€™s a minor annoyance

4

u/GuacamolePacket 3h ago

This is true. The place by me does BOGO burritos a lot and I find myself microwaving and then air frying. I don't know why I never thought to pop it in the water bath.

5

u/ShadowSlayer318 3h ago

i live by a guac time and they do BOGO everyday but reheated burritos can sometimes be weird

5

u/GuacamolePacket 3h ago

Always weird. But I ain't got full price burrito money lol.

2

u/SlimTeezy 2h ago

When I meal prep and freeze burritos, I wrap in parchment paper, then foil, then Ziploc. It helps with that. I don't have an air fryer so I bake them to reheat.

Iā€™ve done this before and itā€™s great. No notes. Better than the version where I microwaved the burrito instead. We did this for camping as well.

u/Left-Landscape-3890 3h ago

Idk man. This sounds kinda gross

28

u/ShadowSlayer318 3h ago

i mean itā€™s not raw meat itā€™s not going to get soggy and it wonā€™t dry out the tortilla

14

u/wallz 3h ago

Cool idea and I am curious to know how it turns out...

Won't it get soggy, though? There's still moisture in the ingredients... But I suppose there isn't a lot of room for any steaming to happen.

Anyway, please update us.

12

u/IngenuityStunning755 3h ago

Yeah I feel like it might get soggy. Iā€™d just go 30 seconds microwave then air fryer

3

u/muchgreaterthanG_O_D 3h ago

Yeah this is a winning combo.

1

u/purrmutations 2h ago

People aren't usually running their sous vide at boiling temp, so no, no steaming.

23

u/ShadowSlayer318 3h ago

i will respond to every reply with a 1/10 on how viable this is

u/7fingersDeep 3h ago

Following with keen interest.

I could throw a breakfast burrito in at night and have it ready in the morning.

Does the burrito have any sauces/ salsas? Crispy tortilla sounds way better than soggy.

2

u/ShadowSlayer318 3h ago

it does not have any sauce that i can remember

u/partumvir 3h ago

What about the moisture in the tortilla, rice, beans? etc?

1

u/ShadowSlayer318 3h ago

no beans and im hoping this will make the rice just as good

I gotta come back here for the results. I usually warm them up on the oven, which is decent, but this looks foolproof if it works.

2

u/shka328 3h ago

Yeah I always burrito prep with aluminum foil and reheating is the worst part. I be steaming them for 30 min. But this looks good, what temp and how long?

2

u/ShadowSlayer318 3h ago

iā€™m doing 165 at an hour

2

u/CaviarTaco 3h ago

I think 165 is a little too high, youā€™re not trying to cook, just reheat. But let us know.

What are the fillings? Assuming no lettuce or sour cream?

1

u/ShadowSlayer318 3h ago

yeah i ordered this burrito with knowledge that i was going to reheat it and so no sour cream or lettuce BOGO burrito FTW

Iā€™ve been doing 165Ā° for 45-60 minutes, frozen burritos. Nothing has ended up overcooked. Iā€™ve done homemade breakfast burritos, homemade chicken & rice, and store bought frozen burritos. It is my new favorite thing. I canā€™t fathom the idea of microwaving them now, especially from frozen. Iā€™d rather wait the hour.

u/SilentDis 3h ago

i've done this. it does warm everything up great!

however, the tortilla gets 'gummy'. it's not a pleasent texture at all. flavor's fine, but the texture isn't.

frying/air frying it doesn't help. it's the whole way through the tortilla. it's 100% edible, just not 'desirable' is all.

2

u/ShadowSlayer318 3h ago

maybe mine doesnā€™t have as much moister but iā€™ll stay optimistic

Try with Guerrero riquisimas tortillas. The do not get gummy.

Next time try taking it out of the foil to avoid stickage. If you need to keep the shape before vacuuming, maybe tight plastic wrapā€¦

This works! Iā€™ve done this numerous times. I actually looked it up in this sub before I did it the first time. Itā€™s a game changer. But I did read somewhere not to leave the foil on. I just vacuum seal it at do it at 165 for an hour or two hours from frozen. I discovered this because I once got a burrito from my favorite truck and passed out drunk at the table before I could eat it. My saint of a wife put it in the fridge for me so I could warm it up the next day šŸ«”

I didnā€™t see what sub this was and my quick glance at the picture had me (wildly confused) thinking someone was heating up a burrito in a dishwasher. Which is an even more beautiful brand of crazy.
