beef chimichangas<\/a> that also fries them.<\/p>\nCan I make chicken chimichangas in an air fryer?<\/h3>\n
Yes. First set the air fryer to 375\u00b0. Set the chimichangas in a single layer in the air fryer basket seam side down after securing the tortillas with toothpicks. Air fry the chimichangas until they’re crispy on top, for about five to six minutes. Then flip them over and air fry them for two to three more minutes or until they’re heated through. Serve with picante sauce, green onions and sour cream.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Do the math and that's only really 3 tortillas worth of filling. When you add the salsa and cheese that bulks it up a bit, but I still only got five 1\/2-cup portions. If you bump the chicken alone up to 2 cups, that should do the trick. Also, this called for a 15x10-in. baking dish. That is WAY too big.
