Instructions

1
If your chimichangas are not sealed, secure them with toothpicks to prevent them from unrolling during cooking.
2
Lightly spray the chimichangas on all sides with cooking spray.
3
Place the chimichangas in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
4
Air fry at 380°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
5
Carefully remove the chimichangas from the air fryer and place on a plate.
6
Ladle the warm green chile sauce generously over the top of each chimichanga.
7
Garnish with shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, pickled jalapeños, and sliced black olives.
8
Serve immediately, with Spanish rice and tortilla chips on the side if desired.
