The best way to reheat a burrito is in the oven. The microwave may be faster, but it can leave you with an unevenly heated burrito with a cardboard tortilla.

When heated in the oven, a burrito will retain its inner juiciness while the tortilla will get nice and toasty without drying out. Simply preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Wrapping burrito in foil
Wrap your burrito in aluminum foil, place it on the middle rack, and heat for 15 to 20 minutes depending on the burrito’s size. For extra crisp, remove the foil for the last few minutes.

If you’re wary about heating ingredients like lettuce, guacamole, or sour cream, you’ll have to open the burrito and scoop out those ingredients before reheating.

However, keep in mind that the aluminum foil will help keep the lettuce and tomatoes fresh, and the sour cream and guac will infuse the rest of the burrito with extra flavor.
