Equipment

  • 1 Air Fryer

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ½ cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 4 ounces canned diced mild green chilis 
  • ½ tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon dried oregano 
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 12 5.5-6 inch corn tortillas
  • 4 sprays olive oil spray 

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F.
    Place the shredded chicken, chilies and spices into a bowl and combine. Note: The chicken does not have to be warm.
  • Wrap tortillas in a damp paper towel on a plate and microwave for 30 seconds or until warm. This will keep the tortillas from breaking when you wrap them. Only do 4 tortillas at a time.
    To assemble, place a little of the chicken filling at the bottom of the tortilla, add a sprinkle of cheese, roll and secure it with a toothpick. Make sure the toothpick pokes through the top of the fold. Refer to the photo.
  • Spray them with olive oil on both sides. Place them in the air fryer in a single layer. You will probably have to cook them in 2 batches. Air fry at 400 degrees F for 6-8 minutes.
  • Remove the toothpicks before serving.
    Serve with your favorite toppings!
