Instructions:

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). If your air fryer doesn’t have a preheat setting, simply run it for a few minutes to get it hot.
  2. Arrange the frozen enchiladas in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Leave some space between them for good air circulation. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
  3. Lightly spray the enchiladas with cooking spray if desired. This will help them crisp up even more.
  4. Air fry for 10-12 minutes, or until the enchiladas are golden brown and heated through. Be sure to check on them halfway through cooking and flip them over if necessary, especially if your air fryer doesn’t have good heat circulation.
  5. Once cooked, remove the enchiladas from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Top with your favorite toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.

FAQs:

Can I use a different brand of frozen enchiladas? Absolutely! This recipe will work with any brand of frozen enchiladas. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time based on the size and thickness of the enchiladas.

Do I have to thaw the enchiladas first? No, you can cook them frozen straight from the box. However, if you’d like them to cook a bit faster, you can thaw them in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before cooking.

My enchiladas are falling apart. What can I do? This can happen if the enchiladas have been thawed and refrozen, or if they were handled too roughly. Try using a spatula to carefully transfer them to the air fryer basket.

How can I make this recipe even healthier? You can use a light version of cheese or skip the cheese topping altogether. You can also serve the enchiladas with a side of salad or roasted vegetables.

Enjoy your delicious and crispy air-fried Stouffer’s Chicken Enchiladas!
