Air fryer chimichangas: Crispy, lower calorie version filled with chicken, chiles, and cheese.
Ingredients:
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 0.5 cup diced onion
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 0.5 (8 ounce) package Neufchatel cheese, softened
  • 1 (4 ounce) can hot fire-roasted diced green chiles (such as Ortega®)
  • 0.25 cup chicken broth
  • 1.5 tablespoons chicken taco seasoning mix (such as McCormick®)
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 6 (10 inch) flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend, or to taste
  • avocado oil cooking spray
Instructions:
  • Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C following the manufacturer's guidelines.
  • In a medium skillet, heat oil. Sauté onion until soft and translucent, about 4 to 6 minutes. Stir in chicken, Neufchâtel cheese, green chiles, chicken broth, taco seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook until well combined and Neufchâtel is evenly mixed in.
  • Warm tortillas in a skillet or directly on a gas stove until soft. Spoon 1/3 cup chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla and sprinkle with a generous tablespoon of Mexican cheese. Fold the sides of the tortillas over the filling, then roll into burritos. Lightly spritz with cooking spray before air frying.
  • Air-fry the chimichangas for 4 to 6 minutes. Then, flip them over, mist with cooking spray, and air-fry for an additional 2 to 4 minutes until lightly browned.
