8 flour tortillas (8-inch)
1 lb tomatillos (fresh or canned), husked
1/2 white onion, quartered

Instructions

1

Make the sauce: blend 1 lb husked tomatillos (fresh or canned), 1/2 quartered white onion, 2 serrano peppers, 2 garlic cloves, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper in a blender until smooth.

In a saucepan, warm the tomatillo sauce over medium heat for 3 minutes. Stir in half the 1 cup sour cream and 1/2 cup chicken broth. Season to taste and keep warm.

Coat the seam of each flour tortillas (8-inch) lightly with as needed cooking spray. Pour remaining sauce over the enchiladas and top with 2 cups Oaxaca or mozzarella cheese.
6

Air fry at 375°F for 12-15 minutes until the Oaxaca or mozzarella cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the flour tortillas (8-inch) are lightly crisped.

Questions

Can I make Air Fryer Enchiladas Suizas dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in this entry is 1 cup sour cream, 2 cups Oaxaca or mozzarella cheese. Swap the sour cream for thick coconut yogurt with a squeeze of lemon; the cheese for a plant-based melting cheese (expect a milder flavor). The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

Can I make Air Fryer Enchiladas Suizas gluten-free?

Yes. The gluten in this entry is 8 flour tortillas (8-inch). Swap the flour for a 1-to-1 gluten-free baking blend (where it only thickens a sauce, half as much cornstarch also works). Everything else proceeds as written.

How long does Air Fryer Enchiladas Suizas keep?

Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and eat them within three days. Re-crisp leftovers in the air fryer at 350 F for three to four minutes; the microwave softens the coating.

Can I halve or double Air Fryer Enchiladas Suizas?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. Doubled, air-fry in batches; a crowded basket steams instead of crisping.
