Ingredients

Chicken Chimichangas

  • 1 rotisserie chicken white meat shredded - reserve the dark meat for another use
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked rice
  • 1 cup salsa use your favorite brand - I like a green salsa with this recipe
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 8 soft taco size flour tortillas about 8 inches across
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

Toppings

  • white queso cheese sauce
  • shredded lettuce
  • diced tomatoes
  • sour cream
  • guacamole

Instructions

  • Brush the bottom of the air fryer basket with vegetable oil. Preheat the air fryer to 360 degrees.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the chicken, rice, salsa and salt until well blended.
  • Place about 1/2 cup of the chicken filling in the center of each tortilla. Roll them up tightly with the ends folded in to seal in the filling.
  • Place the chimichangas, two at a time and seam side down, in the oiled basket. Brush the tops of the chimichangas lightly with vegetable oil.
  • Air fry the chimichangas for about 4 minutes at 360 degrees. Open the air fryer and use metal tongs to flip the chimichanges. Continue to air fry for another 4 minutes until the chimichangas are hot and browned.
  • The filling will keep in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to two days so the chimichangas can be prepared as needed.
  • Top the chimichangas with white queso cheese sauce, lettuce, tomato, sour cream and guacamole.
