Description

These classic Mexican-American chimichangas are surprisingly easy to make at home in your air fryer. They are the perfect, crispy and delicious meal to serve instead of tacos on Taco Tuesdays.

Ingredients

• c. cooked and shredded chicken, beef, or pork
• 1/2 c. finely chopped onion
• 5 oz. can diced green chiles
• 1 t. ground cumin
• 1/2 t. chili powder
• 1/2 t. garlic powder
• 1/4 t. salt
• 1/4 t. black pepper
• 16 oz. can refried beans
• 1 c. shredded Cheddar cheese
• 8 large flour buritto size tortillas
• oil, for air frying
• topping choices: diced tomatoes, guacamole, sour cream, or salsa

Steps

1. In a large bowl, combine the choice of meat, green chiles, onion, cumin, salt, pepper, chili and garlic powders.
2. To warm the tortillas, wrap them in a towel and microwave for 30-45 seconds or follow the package directions.
3. Spoon about 1/2 c. meat mixture, 2 T. refried beans, and a bit of cheese onto each tortilla. Tightly roll up each tortilla; place them fold-side down on a baking sheet. Do not overfill. Use a wooden toothpick to keep them from unrolling, if necessary.
