Air Fryer Mexican Lasagna
Description
Tortilla layers with seasoned beef, refried beans, enchilada sauce and cheese, baked in the air fryer in 20 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef, 80/20
- 1/2 small onion, diced
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1/4 cup water
- 15 ounces refried beans
- 10 ounces red enchilada sauce, divided
- 8 flour or corn tortillas, 6-inch
- 2 cups shredded Mexican-blend cheese, divided
- Optional toppings: sliced jalapeños, cilantro, sour cream
Instructions
- Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, taco seasoning, and green chilies and cook until the onion is soft and the beef is cooked through. Drain the fat, then stir in the refried beans until combined.
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 3 to 5 minutes. Grease the pan well.
- Lay a tortilla in the bottom of the pan. Spread on a thin layer of the beef mixture, add cheese, and drizzle with enchilada sauce. Repeat the layers until the pan is full, finishing with cheese on top.
- Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 15 to 20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbling. Check at the halfway point and tent with foil if the top is browning too fast. Add jalapeños in the last 2 minutes.
- Rest 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with sour cream, guacamole, or salsa.
Equipment
- Air fryer (5.8 qt or larger)
- 8-inch round pan
- Skillet
Notes
Six-inch tortillas fit a 7-inch pan without trimming. Leave a half inch of clearance around the pan in the basket so air can circulate. Keep filling layers thin for even heating.
