This air fryer enchilada casserole is the second part of this two part recipe that allows you to cook once and eat twice. This recipe utilizes the homemade Paprika Cream Sauce which we served over egg noodles. In dish, we show how the same sauce can be utilized to make an easy enchilada baked casserole in the air fryer.
Can Air Fryer Enchilada Casserole be made with a different sauce?
Yes! While I love the paprika cream sauce with this easy enchilada bake, this casserole can easily be made with any homemade or store-bought enchilada sauce that you love.
