How to Cook a Frozen Burrito in the Oven

Frozen burritos are a versatile food that satisfy your appetite in a hurry. Most frozen burrito packages have instructions for both microwaving and baking in conventional ovens. Microwaving a burrito results in a softer tortilla, while cooking in the oven gives a crispier shell. There is no need to thaw frozen burritos before baking them. To dress up frozen burritos, try baking them in a pan with enchilada sauce, salsa, cheese, sour cream and fresh chopped vegetables.

Step 4

Place the burrito on a cookie sheet and slide it onto the top rack of your oven.

Step 5

Bake the burrito for 35 to 40 minutes. Remove the foil and place the burrito back on the cookie sheet.

Return the burrito to the oven for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until the tortilla is as crispy as you want it.
