Air Fryer Chimichangas recipe helps you make a delicious dinner super quick. I can’t believe I ever made dinner without an Air Fryer! You only have to cook these for about 6 minutes, earning them a top spot in our weekly dinner menu. 

Air Fryer Chimichangas 

Using a pre-cooked rotisserie chicken for these helps save a bunch of time. You can grab one from the deli section of your grocery store and get dinner ready fast!

Our Air Fryer has become such a crucial part of my kitchen. You will probably really like using it for our Nashville Chicken, Mashed Potato Cakes and Air Fryer Chicken Parmesan.

Ingredients You’ll Need

• Onions
• Garlic
• Jalapeños
• Jasmine Rice
• Rotisserie Chicken
• Pinto beans
• Tortillas
• Enchilada Sauce
• Cilantro
• Cheese 
• Butter

How To Make “Grilled” Air Fryer Chimichangas

• The first thing to do is sauté your onions and jalapeños on the stove. Add in your shredded chicken and mix it together. While that is cooking you can heat your pinto beans in a saucepan.
• (If you’re looking for less spice just omit the jalapeños.)
• Then, make your burritos! Laying your shells flat, scoop a spoonful of the rice, the meat mixture, then top with beans, cheese and enchilada sauce.
• Roll the burrito and brush it with melted butter.
• Cook each burrito one at a time, flap side down for about 6 minutes.
• Top it with sour cream, cilantro, pico, or more cheese and enjoy!
