If you’re wondering how to make air fryer enchiladas, you’re in the right place! These vegetarian enchiladas are filled with air fried zucchini, peppers, and onion. Those veggies are then paired with spinach, corn, and spices before being rolled in tortillas, topped with enchilada sauce and cheese, and air fried to perfection.
With the right tortilla and cheese selection, you can have high protein, vegan, or low carb enchiladas. That’s what we in the biz like to call having the whole enchilada.

Ingredient Substitution Tips
You can definitely use this template to make other variations of enchiladas in an air fryer.
You could cook a filling like my ground turkey enchiladas on the stovetop and use your air fryer instead of an oven. Or if you have some leftover Mexican pulled chicken or a rotisserie chicken, you could cook rotisserie chicken enchiladas using this method.
You could also do something like my veggie enchilada casserole to save time. Just add enchilada sauce to the air fried veggies and other ingredients. Then fold in chopped tortillas, top with cheese, and air fry.
Okay, you get the idea. Let me know if you have any questions about the recipe or modifications in the comments at the bottom of this post.
