Notes
- Don't overfill your tortillas. When overfilled, it oozes out the ends which leaves less for you to enjoy.
- Don't skip spraying tortillas with cooking spray. You can lightly brush with oil as well.
- Make chicken filling ahead of time up to 2 days. Makes for even less prep time.
- Keep in mind every air fryer will vary in cook time just slightly. Use the cook time given in the instructions as a guide.
