Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
½ cup diced onion
2 cups shredded cooked chicken
½ (8 ounce) package Neufchatel cheese, softened
1 (4 ounce) can hot fire-roasted diced green chiles (such as Ortega®)
¼ cup chicken broth
1 ½ tablespoons chicken taco seasoning mix (such as McCormick®)
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
6 (10 inch) flour tortillas
1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend, or to taste
avocado oil cooking spray

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a medium skillet. Add onion and cook until soft and translucent, 4 to 6 minutes. Add chicken, Neufchatel cheese, diced chiles, chicken broth, taco seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir until mixture is well combined and Neufchatel has softened been incorporated.
  • Heat tortillas in a large skillet or directly on grates of a gas stove until soft and pliable. Place 1/3 cup chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla and top with a heaping tablespoon of Mexican cheese. Fold top and bottom of tortillas over the filling, then roll each into a burrito shape. Mist with cooking spray and place in the basket of an air fryer.
  • Air fry at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 4 to 6 minutes. Flip each chimichanga over, mist with cooking spray, and air fry until lightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes more.

I've tried many chimichanga recipes and this one is by far the best. The filling is flavorful and the tortillas are crispy.

I would give these chimichangas a 3 out of 5. They were easy to make and they tasted good, but they were a bit too greasy.

These chimichangas were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add some more spices next time.

I've made these chimichangas several times now and they are always a hit! I love that they are so easy to make and that I can use whatever fillings I have on hand.

These chimichangas were so easy to make and they turned out great! I used ground turkey instead of beef and they were still delicious. I will definitely be making these again.
