Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 12-inch whole wheat tortillas (flour tortillas work too)
- 3/4 cup refried beans
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
Instructions
- Place the tortillas on a flat surface in front of you.
- Spread half the refried beans and half the shredded cheese onto the center of each tortilla.
- Fold each tortilla into a square by folding in the two sides first, then folding in the top and bottom.
- Lightly spray or coat the air fryer basket with olive oil.
- Place the tortilla pillows folded side down in the air fryer basket and air fry at 400°F for 8 minutes, or until the outside is crispy and the filling is warmed through.
- Serve warm, sliced in half if desired.
Notes
- If your tortillas feel stiff or crack when folding, microwave them between two damp paper towels for 10 seconds to make them pliable.
- Cook in batches if doubling or tripling the recipe -- don't crowd the air fryer basket.
- To make in the oven instead, bake at 350°F for 20 minutes.
- Leftovers keep in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3 to 4 minutes to bring the crispiness back.
