Ingredients
For making air fried frozen chimichangas, you’ll need:
- 1 package frozen chimichangas: Choose your preferred filling.
Optional toppings: Enhance your dish with:
- 100 ml salsa
- 100 ml guacamole
- 50 ml sour cream
Instructions
1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Let it heat up for about 3 minutes to ensure the cooking environment is evenly heated.
2. Prepare the Chimichangas: If your frozen chimichangas need thawing, follow the package instructions. Otherwise, you can place them directly in the air fryer.
3. Arrange in the Air Fryer: Place the chimichangas in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Make sure they are not touching to allow for even air circulation.
4. Cooking Time: Cook for about 8-10 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, flip the chimichangas to ensure they are evenly crisped.
5. Check for Doneness: After the initial cooking time, check if the chimichangas are thoroughly heated and crispy. If not, continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes.
6. Serving: Remove the chimichangas from the air fryer and let them rest for a couple of minutes. Serve hot with optional toppings like salsa, guacamole, and sour cream.
Notes
For best results, avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket as this can lead to uneven cooking. Each air fryer model may vary slightly in cooking times, so adjustments might be necessary based on your specific appliance.
