Air Fried Chile Rellanos

Yes please!  This is a change up of frying chile rellenos in vegetable oil using a bread crumb coating.  (That way is also amazingly delicious!)  

We have used egg roll wrappers for many tasty things and scanning through some recipes one day made me think of trying to use them to make chile rellenos. 

Let's Get Crafty!

Ingredients:

Roasted green chiles, thawed and peeled

Cheddar cheese cut into sticks 

package of egg roll wrappers

A few tablespoons of EVOO

Arrange like so.

Using the corner closest to you, fold over one time.

Then snuggly fold in the left and right corners.

Roll forward again one or two times. 

Seam down, place each in the air fryer.

Brush some EVOO over each chile relleno.

Preheat the air fryer to 380 and let warm up a couple minutes.

Fry them for around 10 minutes flipping halfway through.  

We like ours extra crispy and cooking time might need to be adjusted depending on how full they are.

Hot out of the air fryer.

So melty and amazing.  

This recipe is a keeper and uses much less oil.

If you're wondering what we had with them... 

we had bacon and green chile wrapped tenderloin with a side salad.

Here's a similar recipe from a few years ago.

Thanks for stopping by!  Hope you have a great day.
