Ingredients
  

For the Chimichangas:

  • 4 large Flour Tortillas soft and pliable
  • 2 tablespoons Olive or Avocado Oil for brushing

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine the prepared Mexican shredded beef with any additional spices or seasonings you like.
  2. Step 2: Lay out a flour tortilla on a clean surface. Place a generous amount of the shredded beef mixture in the center. Fold in the sides and roll the tortilla tightly from the bottom to the top.
  3. Step 3: Using a brush, lightly coat the outside of each rolled chimichanga with olive or avocado oil.
  4. Step 4: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
  5. Step 5: Carefully place the chimichangas in the air fryer basket and cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  6. Step 6: Once done, remove the chimichangas from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving. Garnish with chopped tomatoes and sour cream.

Notes

  • Ensure your tortillas are fresh and pliable to avoid cracking.
  • If using frozen beef, thaw it completely before using.
  • Experiment with different dipping sauces like guacamole or salsa.
  • Keep an eye on cooking time as air fryers can vary in performance.
