Steps

1
Mix chicken, beans, cheese, green chiles, cumin, and chili powder.
2
Divide filling between tortillas. Fold in sides, then roll up tightly like a burrito.
3
Place seam-side down. Spray all sides generously with oil.
4
Air fry at 400°F for 12-14 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy on all sides.
5
Top with sour cream, guacamole, salsa, lettuce, and tomatoes.

💡

Tip: The key is rolling them tight — loose chimichangas fall apart. Spray oil generously on all sides for even browning. Seam-side down first so it seals shut. Use leftover rotisserie chicken for fastest prep.
