Method

Prevents screen sleep mode
  1. Press tortilla into the base and up sides of a 20cm x 5cm high (about 3 cup capacity) round ovenproof dish that will fit inside your air fryer basket.
  2. Air fry on 180°C for 4 minutes. Carefully remove the bowl and turn the crisp tortilla over and place it inside the bowl so the base is facing up. Air-fry for 1-2 minutes until the base is crisp. Turn back over in the bowl. Press down any puffed tortilla.
  3. Meanwhile, whisk eggs in a large bowl. Season. Add capsicum, onion, corn, cheese, coriander and Mexican spice blend. Stir until combined. Transfer to a jug. Pour into prepared tortilla.
  4. Air fry at 180°C for 15 minutes. Cover with foil and air-fry for a further 15 minutes or until golden and set. Leave in air fryer for 20 minutes to cool before cutting.
  5. Serve topped with sour cream and salsa. Top with extra coriander. Cut into wedges and serve.

Notes

  • Make it a heartier meal by serving it with a crisp salad or coleslaw.
  • You could also add extra vegetables, such as ⅔ cup steamed diced sweet potato. Or use a bag of frozen peas and corn.
  • If you don’t have an air fryer, bake in the oven at the same temperature. Make two in oven-proof ceramic or metal dishes in the oven to serve 6.
  • If foil blows off the top of the tortilla in your air fryer, weigh it down with metal cutlery, making sure you lift off cutlery with an ovenproof mitt.  
  • You can also use a silicone air fryer basket liner.
  • Use frozen peas, corn and capsicum instead of corn and capsicum or add another vegetable such as blanched small broccoli florets.
  • Make a wide foil strap to assist in lifting out the bowl.  
  • To boost the fibre even further, use wholemeal wraps.
