Air Fryer Enchiladas

These Air Fryer Enchiladas are done in less than half an hour and are packed with flavor!

Grap What You’ll Need

• Protein – Use either one block of firm tofu (pressed) or 1 lb. ground beef
• Oil – You can use your oil of choice. I like avocado oil
• Spices – Cumin and Chili Powder come together to create a delicious flavor.
• Onion – You can use white, yellow or red onions.
• Beans – I use canned black beans, but you can use any bean of your choice.
• Rice – Use any variety of cooked rice.
• Tomatoes – I prefer to use fire-roasted canned tomatoes for this recipe.
• Corn or Flour Tortillas – Make sure they are burrito-sized.
• Cheese – Use Mexican shredded cheese or your favorite blend of shredded cheese.
• Enchilada sauce – use your favorite brand here or try my homemade enchilada sauce.
• Lime – Optionally, you can add lime juice to this recipe and/or use lime as a garnish.

How to Make Them

1. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add your oil and diced onions. Sauté the onions for 3 minutes or until they are soft.
2. Add your pressed tofu and mash it with a fork. Sauté the tofu and onions for another 6 to 8 minutes.
3. Add all the spices to the mixture and heat for 2 more minutes.
4. Add the cooked beans, cooked rice, and fire-roasted tomatoes to the pan.
5. Add the enchilada mixture to the tortillas and roll them into tubes.
6. Line the air fryer basket with foil and place tortillas in the air fryer basket with the seam side down. Top with enchilada sauce and cheese and cook for about 4 minutes at 350°F or until cheese is melted.

Note: Make sure your enchiladas have room around them to cook evenly. Divide the sauce and cheese between batches if needed.

Serving Tips

Rice and beans are the standard side.

You can also add a little salsa and cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice. Some crowd favorites are guacamole, pico de gallo, and sour cream if dairy is in your diet!
