Chimichangas in the air fryer are just as crispy as deep-frying, minus the extra calories. Plus they are quick and easy to make — perfect for a busy-night dinner. Top with salsa, sour cream, avocado, and cheese.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 0.5 cups diced onion
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 0.5 packages Neufchatel cheese , 8 ounce
  • 1 can hot fire-roasted diced green chiles , 4 ounce
  • 0.25 cups chicken broth
  • 1.5 tablespoons chicken taco seasoning mix , such as McCormick®
  • 0.5 teaspoons salt
  • 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 6 flours tortillas , 10 inch
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend , or to taste
  • avocado oil cooking spray

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions.

  2. 2

    Heat oil in a medium skillet. Add onion and cook until soft and translucent, 4 to 6 minutes. Add chicken, Neufchâtel cheese, green chiles, chicken broth, taco seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir until mixture is well combined and Neufchâtel has been evenly incorporated.

  3. 3

    Heat tortillas in a large skillet or directly on the grates of a gas stove until soft and pliable. Place 1/3 cup chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla and top with a heaping tablespoon of Mexican cheese. Fold the top and bottom of tortillas over the filling, then roll each into a burrito shape. Mist with cooking spray and place in the basket of an air fryer.

  4. 4

    Air-fry for 4 to 6 minutes. Flip each chimichanga over, mist with cooking spray, and air-fry until lightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes more.
