Air Fried Chilaquiles
Ingredients:
6 low-calorie tortillas, cut into triangles
1 tsp olive oil spray (for air frying)
1 lb tomatillos, husked and rinsed
1-2 fresh jalapeños (adjust based on spice preference)
2 garlic cloves
¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped (plus more for garnish)
Juice of 1 lime
1 cup egg whites (or about 8 large egg whites)
½ tsp salt (divided)
½ tsp black pepper
Optional toppings: diced avocado, crumbled queso fresco, Greek yogurt, or sliced red onions
Instructions:
1. Make the Tortilla Chips:
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly spray the tortilla triangles with olive oil spray and sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
Arrange them in a single layer in the air fryer basket (cook in batches if needed).
Air fry for 5-7 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until golden and crispy.
2. Prepare the Salsa Verde:
On a pan, roast tomatillos and jalapeños for about 5 minutes or until softened.
Transfer to a blender. Add garlic, cilantro, lime juice, and ¼ tsp salt. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
3. Cook the Egg Whites:
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and spray lightly with olive oil spray.
Add egg whites, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and cook until set, stirring occasionally for soft, scrambled texture.
4. Assemble the Chilaquiles:
In the same skillet, pour the salsa verde and heat it for 2-3 minutes.
Add the air-fried tortilla chips to the skillet, gently tossing to coat them in the salsa.
Serve immediately, topped with scrambled egg whites and garnished with cilantro.
