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?

Microwaves emit rays that causes water molecules to vibrate. This vibration is what heats up the food. Twice as much food, means twice as much burrito to shake up. I believe frozen food is also harder to shake due to frozen water being harder to vibrate
