Easy Air Fryer Mexican Lasagna
Description
Layers of seasoned ground beef, refried beans, tortillas, and melted cheese cooked in the air fryer for a fast taco lasagna that's ready in 40 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 8 tortillas, 6-inch flour or corn, trimmed to fit your pan
- 15 ounces refried beans
- 4 ounces diced green chilies
- 1½ cups shredded cheese, cheddar or Mexican blend
- 1 ounce taco seasoning, about 1 packet
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup red enchilada sauce
- 1 jalapeño, sliced (optional)
Instructions
- Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, taco seasoning, and green chilies and cook until the onion is soft and the beef is cooked through. Drain the fat, then stir in the refried beans until combined.
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 3 to 5 minutes. Grease the pan well.
- Lay a tortilla in the bottom of the pan. Spread on a thin layer of the beef mixture, add cheese, and drizzle with enchilada sauce. Repeat the layers until the pan is full, finishing with cheese on top.
- Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 15 to 20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbling. Check at the halfway point and tent with foil if the top is browning too fast. Add jalapeños in the last 2 minutes.
- Rest 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with sour cream, guacamole, or salsa.
Equipment
- 6- to 7-inch round baking pan, oven-safe, with clearance in the basket
Notes
Six-inch tortillas fit a 7-inch pan without trimming. Leave a half inch of clearance around the pan in the basket so air can circulate. Keep filling layers thin for even heating.
