Ingredients

10 yellow corn tortillas
3 cups seasoned shredded chicken
2 cups shredded cheese
8 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
4 ounces of hatch green chili canned
2.25 cups of green enchilada sauce

Instructions

Add chicken, cream cheese, half of the shredded cheese, and chilies into a mixing bowl. Mix completely.
In a shallow pan fitting in your air fryer basket, add a thin layer of sauce. Roll tortillas with 1-2 tablespoons of chicken mix and place over sauce.
Once the pan is full cover the enchiladas with half of the remaining sauce and half of the remaining cheese (saving the rest of the sauce and cheese for the second pan of enchiladas).
Cook at 400°F for 6 to 8 minutes until the enchilada ends are crispy and the cheese is melted
Let cool and top with cilantro, green onions, sour cream, and/or your favorite Mexican toppings.

Notes

You can make the enchiladas ahead and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat enchiladas in the air fryer at 375°F for about 5 to 7 minutes.
Enchiladas freeze well. You can freeze them in the pan, then, once frozen, transfer to a resealable plastic bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. To serve, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and then return to the pan and reheat in the air fryer for 5 to 7 minutes at 375°F.
