Why is it if I microwave one frozen burrito at the recommended time it heats up normally, but when I microwave two of them it doesn’t heat the same? And takes longer?

For the exact same reason it would take longer to heat up a burrito that is twice the size, there is more stuff that needs to be heated, but the same amount of power going into the heating, so it takes longer for that same amount of power to heat up twice as much stuff
