Key Ingredients You’ll Need
- Red Enchilada Sauce: You can choose to make our homemade enchilada sauce or use canned.
- Taco Meat: Use our taco seasoning and add additional seasonings if desired.
- Tortillas: I like to use corn tortillas for this recipe, but flour tortillas work just as well.
How To Make Air Fryer Enchiladas
Step 1. Combine 1 cup of the prepared taco meat with the enchilada sauce. Put a bit of sauce into the bottom of the pan just barely covering it. Place tortillas into the microwave to warm up for 15 seconds until soft and pliable.
Step 2. Put 1 to 2 tablespoons of the meat into the tortillas with a little bit of cheese and roll. Put the tortillas into the prepared pan and fold side down. Pour enchilada sauce on top of the tortillas generously and sprinkle with your preferred amount of cheese evenly.
Step 3. Put the pan into the basket of the air fryer and cook for 6 to 8 minutes at 375 degrees until the ends of the tortillas are crisp and the cheese is melted. Serve and enjoy!
How To Store Air Fryer Enchiladas?
Place any leftovers into an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to three days. These heat up easily in the microwave or you can reheat in the oven.
Can I Freeze Air Fryer Enchiladas?
Yes! Just like placing it in the fridge, I recommend putting the cheese and sauce on only when you are ready to serve. Place the prepared tacos into a freezer bag or airtight container and store them for up to 3 months.
