Description
A quick and easy recipe for sweet and crispy blueberry chimichangas made in your air fryer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar, for dusting
- Optional: whipped cream or ice cream for serving
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, gently toss the blueberries with granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Lay out the flour tortillas. Divide the blueberry mixture evenly among the center of each tortilla.
- Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then tightly roll them up from the bottom, like a burrito.
- Brush the outside of each chimichanga with melted butter.
- Place the chimichangas in the air fryer basket, seam-side down, in a single layer. Do not overcrowd. You may need to cook in batches.
- Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the air fryer and let cool slightly.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- For a smoother filling, you can lightly mash some of the blueberries before mixing.
- If you don’t have fresh blueberries, frozen blueberries can be used, but they may release more liquid.
- Adjust cinnamon and nutmeg to your preference.
