Air Fryer Beef and Cheese Chimichangas

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

1. In a skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain any excess grease.
2. Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.
3. Stir in taco seasoning and 1/4 cup water. Simmer until thickened, about 3–5 minutes.
4. Remove from heat and let cool slightly, then stir in shredded cheese.

Step 2: Assemble the Chimichangas

1. Place 2–3 heaping tablespoons of the beef mixture in the center of each tortilla.
2. Fold the sides in, then roll up tightly like a burrito, seam side down.
3. Brush each chimichanga with melted butter or olive oil to help them crisp up in the air fryer.

Step 3: Air Fry

1. Preheat air fryer to 190°C (375°F).
2. Place chimichangas in the air fryer basket seam side down. Do not overcrowd.
3. Air fry for 10–12 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.

Step 4: Serve

1. Top with sour cream, diced tomatoes, cilantro, or your favorite toppings. Serve hot!
