Air Fryer Amy's Organic Mexican Casserole Bowl

Why You’ll Love It

Amy’s Organic Mexican Casserole Bowl is a delicious blend of organic corn, beans, tomatoes, and brown rice, layered with tortillas and topped with a lightly spiced, cheesy sauce. Cooking it in the air fryer brings out the bold flavors, gives it a beautifully browned top, and delivers a warm, hearty comfort meal—faster than using the oven, and far better than microwaving.

Ingredients

• 1 Amy’s Organic Mexican Casserole Bowl (frozen; do not thaw)

• Optional: Foil (to tent during first half of cooking)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the Air Fryer

Set your air fryer to 360°F and preheat for 3–5 minutes.

Prepare the Bowl

• Remove the cardboard box and leave the meal in its paper bowl.

• Lightly tent with foil to prevent over-browning or cheese splatter during the first phase of cooking.

Air Fry

• Place the bowl directly into the air fryer basket.

• Cook at 360°F for 24–28 minutes total.

• At the 18-minute mark, remove the foil and continue cooking uncovered for the last 6–10 minutes to brown the top.

Check for Doneness

The casserole should be bubbling, golden on top, and fully heated throughout. Confirm with a food thermometer that the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

Pro Tips

• For a crisped cheese topping, remove foil sooner (with 10 minutes remaining).

• If your air fryer basket is small, place the bowl on a rack or air fryer-safe tray for better stability.

• Be careful when removing the bowl—it will be hot! Use tongs or a heatproof spatula.

Serving Ideas

• Serve with:

  • A dollop of sour cream or vegan yogurt

  • Chopped cilantro or green onions

  • Lime wedges on the side

• Turn it into a meal plate:

  • Scoop onto a warm tortilla

  • Add avocado slices and hot sauce

  • Serve alongside refried beans or grilled veggies

Storage & Reheating

Storage

• Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

Reheating

• Air Fryer: 350°F for 6–8 minutes (covered with foil)

• Microwave: Heat on high for 2–3 minutes, stirring halfway through

FAQs

Can I transfer the food to another container before air frying?

Yes, if your air fryer is small or you want extra crisping, use a shallow oven-safe ramekin or dish.

Can I cook it uncovered the whole time?

You can, but it may over-brown or dry out. Tenting with foil for part of the cook time keeps the texture balanced.

Does it need to be thawed first?

No, cook straight from frozen for best results.
