How To Make bonnie’s air fryer chimichanga
-
Step 1I use large organic tortillas. Place the tortilla between 2 paper towels and microwave about ten seconds to warm the tortilla and make it pliable. Place the drained pinto beans in a line across the center of the tortilla, leaving about an inch from the edge. Sprinkle with the cheese, and tuck in the ends, and roll it burrito style.

Step 2Place the burrito on a paper towel and brush about a teaspoon of oil on all sides of the burrito. You can also use spray. (I use my hands:) Place the burrito in the Air Fryer, seam down. Set the temperature at 400 and bake 5 to 7 minutes.

Step 3Garnish your chimichanga with La Victoria green taco sauce, sour cream and a jalapeno ring and anything else you might want. Enjoy!

Step 4DID YOU KNOW? So, if your burrito is deeply fried, then it's a chimichanga; if it's not deep-fried, then it's a burrito. That's the most fundamental difference between burrito and chimichanga. Burritos are generally rolled up in foil and eaten with the hands, whereas deep-fried chimichangas (or in the air fryer) are served on a plate. However, you eat them, they are darned good! Enjoy!
