Black Bean Air Fryer Chimichangas Recipe
If you’ve watched me ever on video you may know that I’m a wee bit terrified of my Ninja Foodi, but I decided to try out these Air Fryer Black Bean Chimichangas in it today and oh-my-word I am so impressed.
If you have an air fryer – this one is for YOU!
It’s way easier than you think, doesn’t take too much prep work, and is a super fun Tex Mex dish to add to your regular Taco Tuesday! I used Knorr Rice Sides to make it fast (they cook right up in the microwave, just use a big bowl because the water will start to boil), threw it all together, and in no time this super simple side dish was done.
This recipe is from our Side Dish Menu Plan Air Fryer Section!
With all these yummy sides you can add some simple grilled chicken (or even the Layered Tex Mex Dip), and your family will gobble it down. I hope this encourages you to do a little more fun cooking at home ~ I know I’m loving it, and sure do hope you love it too!
