AIR FRYER CHICKEN ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Slice each chicken breast to make 4 chicken breasts (like butterflying a chicken). This will help them cook more evenly.
• To do this: Place one hand on top of the chicken to hold it in place (being careful of your knife), slice the chicken breast horizontally, cutting all the way through the other side. If they are thicker than ¼ inch, then flatten them down with a rolling pin or with a flat meat tenderizer.
• Drizzle the chicken breasts with olive oil and then season all sides with the taco seasoning. Rub the seasoning in to make sure they are fully coated.
• Spray a 5-quart air fryer basket with olive oil cooking spray (even though the chicken breasts have oil on them, this is just an extra layer to make sure they don't stick.) The air fryer does not need to be preheated for this recipe.
• Place the seasoned chicken in the air fryer and cook at 370F degrees for 6 minutes. Flip the chicken once that time has passed and bake for an additional 6 minutes. Air fryer times can vary. Chicken breasts should reach an internal temperature of 165F degrees when done.
• Remove the chicken from the air fryer and allow it to sit on a cutting board for a few minutes while you prepare the air fryer basket. Line the bottom and halfway up all of the sides of the air fryer basket with nonstick aluminum foil (or you can spray the aluminum foil with nonstick spray.) Set aside. Slice all the chicken breasts into strips.
• Spread about 2 tablespoons of the enchilada sauce on each tortilla.
• Layer on top of each tortilla some of the sliced chicken down the center. On top of the chicken, add some black beans. Finally, top with some shredded cheese.
• Roll up all the filled tortillas and lay them side by side against each other in the prepared air fryer basket.
• Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the tortillas and evenly sprinkle on the remaining shredded cheese. Note: Use as little or as much of the enchilada sauce as you would like.
• Air Fry at 350F degrees for about 10 minutes (air fryer times may vary so keep an eye on the enchiladas so that they do not burn.) The air fryer does not need to be preheated first.
• Serve with your favorite toppings.
