My family loves air fryer chimichangas.

Make some taco meat, and fold in some cheese while it's still hot to get it melted all together. Roll it tight in a flour tortilla like its an egg roll, tie it with a piece of butcher string, spray it with some pam style spray, and fry it in the air fryer ... between 5 to 7 minutes (you'll have to get use dto timing with your air fryer) ... the tortilla comes out toasty, crispy, and flaky .. and of course the filling will me melty greatness.

I haven't turned on my oven or used my microwave in the 2 months or so that I have had mine. I roasted asparagus last night in less than 10 minutes. Wings are an obvious choice but I've done chicken quarters as well. Salmon, pork chops, veggies, nuggets, fries and pizzas for the kids.

Stating the obvious, but it's just a small convection oven.

Not from me. I used to heat boudin in the oven (unless I already had the grill fired up for something else) because I like the skin to get snappy. A lot faster in the air fryer and uses less power.

I've only had one since Christmas and there are a lot of things yet to try, but I've done beef liver, beef heart, cod filets, chicken breast, and some other things. I can see using it for asada, fish, and chicken tacos (and beef heart tacos). But I think my favorite thing so far is simply cutting up a sweet potato, coating the slices with salt, pepper, smoke paprika, and maybe some cinnamon, and making sweet potato (steak) fries.

Parmesan crusted pork chops or chicken breasts are good and simple.

What kind of "Pork Chop"? I see them sold in super markets in various ways. Bone in vs. bone out. Thick vs thin.

I do meatballs for my red sauces. Makes them quickly and drains off the fat nicely.

Also wrap a cheese stick with pizza dough and bake at 375 for about 8 minutes to make cheesey bread sticks.

Chicken wings are quick and easy.

Might not be my favorite but I love grilled cheese sandwiches cooked in mine. Any type of bread and any add ons, ham, tomato, avocado etc...

Not sure. My wife got her mom an air fryer/slow cooker/rotisserie/dehydrator combo device a few years ago for Christmas. Knowing she has likely never used it she asked if we could borrow it to try to see if we liked the air fryer before we bought one. She admitted she had never used it and said we could have it.

Stuffed bell peppers, usually with leftover jambalaya topped with pepper jack cheese. Good stuff.
