A bean burrito can sit out for up to 2 hours.
After 2 hours of the bean burrito sitting out at room temperature it can grow bacteria and cause food poisoning.
If you eat the bean burrito that has been sitting out at room temperature for longer than 2 hours then you increase your risk of getting food poisoning.
Always refrigerate any bean burritos or any other burritos whether cooked or not cooked unless you're gonna eat them or serve them within 2 hours.
At room temperature, bacteria grows incredibly fast and can make you sick.
Reheating something that has been sitting at room temperature for longer than two hours won't be safe from bacteria.
Cooked food sitting at room temperature is in what the USDA calls the “Danger Zone,” which is between 40°F and 140°F.
In this range of temperatures, bacteria grows rapidly and the food can become unsafe to eat, so it should only be left out no more than two hours.
In general, if you put the bean burrito or other burritos in the refrigerator right away after eating it, you should feel fine after a couple of days.
If you didn't refrigerate it, it might have become food poisoning (if it contains meat) or has developed bacteria which could cause illness.
Burritos can cause food poisoning.
Typically burritos are a mix of high food poisoning risk ingredients such as tortillas, cooked proteins (chicken, beef, pork), and raw ingredients (guacamole, lettuce, tomato) that can be contaminated by bacteria during production or mishandled before serving.
