This is everyone’s favorite meal at my house, I have been making it for years, and today I tried it in the air fryer, it was oh, so good. My husband actually said, to me, this is really, really good, and had about 4. My kids also loved them, they added their toppings, which is going to be a great get together when we invite their friends over.
Here are the simple steps to make it in your own air fryer,
Start by adding the shredded chicken into a large mixing bowl.
Then add the refried beans, and salsa.
Mix in the spices, and shredded cheese.
Mix well.
Add about 1/2 cup of filling in the center of the tortilla.
Roll up the chimichangas, continue making the chimichangas until you use up all of the filling.
Brush with the melted butter. Set them into the air fryer for 4 minutes at 400 degrees F, after 4 minutes, flip the chimichangas and air fry for another 3 minutes.
Plate, serve, and enjoy!
