Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step 2

Cut Swiss cheese into six 2 x 1/2 x 1/2-inch pieces.

Step 3

Set up breading station: place bread crumbs, 2 teaspoon sazonador seasoning, and 1 tablespoon flour in a shallow dish, place remaining flour and sazonador seasoning in a second shallow dish, and crack eggs into a third shallow dish. Whip eggs until yellow and frothy. Season eggs with salt and pepper.

Step 4

Take each piece of Swiss cheese and lay on top of 1 piece turkey meat. Wrap luncheon meat around Swiss cheese.

Reduce air fryer temperature to to 380 degrees F (193 degrees C) and air fry chicken for 15 minutes. Turn bundles over, spray with nonstick spray and drop air fryer temperature to 370 degrees F (187 degrees C). Air fry until chicken is cooked through, an additional 8 minutes. Serve immediately.
