Equipment

  • 1 Air Fryer

Materials

  • 1 Small spray of Canola Oil Cooking Spray
  • 2 cups Cooked Chicken Breast (shredded)
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 4-6 tsp Lauri Lee’s Ultra Low Sodium Taco Seasoning season to taste with no salt penalty!
  • 1/2 - 1 cup Low Sodium Salsa just enough to help coat the chicken
  • 1 cup Cheddar jack cheese shredded
  • 8 oz Lauri Lee's Adobo Baja Sauce see link below for recipe
  • 8 Tbsp Lauri's Easy Refried Beans Optional - See link below for recipe

Instructions

  • In a large nonstick skillet heat chicken, chilies, taco seasoning, water, and salsa, stirring to coat. Cook 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until chicken is heated through and any liquid is reduced.
  • Place a tortilla on a work surface, and spread 3 tablespoons of the refried beans in the middle (if using refried beans).
  • Top with about 1/4 of the chicken mixture (¾ cup) and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of cheese
  • Fold sides of tortilla in. Fold bottom over filling and sides, then roll up tightly. Set aside, seam side down, and repeat with remaining tortillas.
  • Lightly spray the outside of each filled tortilla. Place chimichangas, seam side down, in the basket, and cook at 400 degrees for 7-8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until lightly browned and heated through. Repeat cooking with any remaining chimichangas (if they didn’t fit in the basket)
  • While Chimichangas are cooking in fryer, heat Baja Sauce on low heat just enough to warm up for top of Chimichangas.
  • Top with Lauri Lee’s Baja Sauce, sour cream, and cilantro (optional)
  • Sprinkle a pinch of Lauri Lee’s Low Sodium Adobo Seasoning over the top of the Baja Sauce as a garnish and enjoy!
