Ingredients
- 6-8 Yellow Corn Tortillas
- 1 1/2 cups shredded chicken
- 2 teaspoons taco seasoning *see note
- 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper or to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheese, separated Cheddar or Mexican cheese blend
- 4 oz cream cheese softened
- 2 oz green chili canned or fresh
- 10 oz Green enchilada sauce
Instructions
- Add chicken, cream cheese, chilis, and HALF of the shredded cheese to a mixing bowl. Add the taco seasoning and mix thoroughly.
- Heat the corn tortillas by microwaving them for 20-30 seconds to soften them.
- Use a shallow pan that fits in your air fryer, or line the air fryer basket with a sheet of aluminum foil to hold these as they cook.
- Add a thin layer of sauce to the pan or foil. Put the tortillas on a cutting board and add 2 tablespoons of the enchilada mixture. Roll the tortilla up and place it in the prepared pan.
- Fill the pan with enchiladas in a single layer. Cook in batches if necessary.
- Once the pan is full, it cover with the sauce and remaining cheese. If you are making multiple batches, divide sauce and cheese evenly.
- Cook at 400 degrees F for 6-8 minutes until the tortilla ends are crispy and the cheese is melted.
- Let cool for a few minutes since the filling will be very hot. Serve topped with cilantro, tomatoes, green onions, sour cream, and or your favorite toppings.
