Ingredients

FOR THE FILLING

Instructions

  • Chop the pepper and the aubergine into 2cm/¾ inch cubes. Slice the red onion into 1cm/½ inch thick slices. Put the chopped vegetables in a bowl and add the olive oil, cumin, oregano and paprika, and a generous seasoning of salt and pepper. Mix well with your hands, then tip into the air fryer basket/drawer. Air fry at 180ºC/360ºF for 15 minutes or until the peppers have a barbecue-style grilled look.

  • Whilst the veggies are cooking, put all the remaining filling ingredients in a mixing bowl and add half of the jar of salsa. When the veggies are cooked, add them to the bowl and stir.

  • Divide the filling evenly amongst the tortilla wraps. Roll each one up tightly, tucking in the top and bottom as you roll, like you’re preparing a burrito. Place four of the enchiladas in a freezer container and freeze for another day, and place the remaining four enchiladas, side by side, into a 18cm/7 inch square foil tray/pan – or a ceramic dish, paper liner or silicone container also work well. Push them close together in the tray to keep them in place.

  • Spray the tops of the enchiladas with olive oil to help them crisp up, then place the tray into the air fryer basket. Air fry at 180ºC/360ºF for 8 minutes, or until they are crisp and not soggy at all.

  • Spoon over enough of the remaining salsa to cover the wraps, then sprinkle with the grated Cheddar. Continue to air fry at 160ºC/320ºF for 7 minutes, or until the salsa is piping hot and the cheese has melted.
