Servings 6 servings
Ingredients
- 6 tortillas flour
- 1/2 pound sausage any variety
- 1 medium potato
- 1 cup cheese shredded
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
- olive oil
Instructions
- Cut up the potato into cubes. (about 1 ½ inches in size) Cover in oil and salt & pepper, and then put them in the air fryer basket. Cook for 8 minutes at 400 degrees.
- Cook the sausage in a skillet on the stove. Break apart, so it’s crumbly. Once cooked, take the sausage out of the skillet.
- Whisk the egg into the sausage grease and scramble it.
- Mix together the sausage, eggs, potatoes, and cheese in a bowl.
- Put the mixture into a flour tortilla. Fold. Spray the basket of the air fryer with nonstick spray and then add the folded burrito.
- Add the burrito to the basket and cook for 5 minutes at 380 degrees. Flip and cook for another 3 minutes.
Notes
- Be sure to flip the tortilla in the air fryer. This is a must to get the entire chimichanga crispy.
- When folding the tortilla, fold so that the seams are closed. If not, the mixture will leak out, causing a mess.
- Adding more ingredients like diced onions or fresh cilantro is a fast and simple way to boost the flavor.
- Don’t forget the toppings! This is where each person can make their chimichanga taste unique and different.
