Equipment

Steps

1
Mix shredded chicken, cheese, cream cheese, salsa verde, cumin, and chili powder.
2
Warm tortillas in microwave 30 seconds under a damp paper towel so they don't crack.
3
Place 2-3 tablespoons of filling on each tortilla. Roll tightly and place seam-side down.
4
Spray with oil. Air fry at 400°F for 8-10 minutes until crispy and golden.
5
Serve with sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and cilantro.

💡

Tip: Warming the tortillas is essential — cold corn tortillas crack and break. Cream cheese in the filling acts as glue and keeps everything together. Use rotisserie chicken for the fastest prep.
