Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Sheet tray or cutting board

Ingredients

  • 4 ounces cream cheese room temperature
  • 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 1 cup roasted peppers cubed
  • 1 cup corn kernels fresh or frozen
  • 1 jalapeño pepper minced, seeds removed
  • 3 scallions chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 12 8-inch flour tortillas
  • 2 fluid ounces canola or olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salsa for serving (optional)

Instructions

  • In a bowl, mix together the cream cheese and grated Cheddar cheese until well combined.
  • Fold in the shredded cooked chicken, roasted peppers, corn kernels, minced jalapeño pepper, and chopped scallions.
  • Season the mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  • In a separate small bowl, mix together the canola or olive oil and chili powder.
  • Set aside.
  • Cut each tortilla in half.
  • Working with one half at a time, roll each half into a cone shape.
  • Holding the cone in one hand, fill it with about 2 tablespoons of the chicken and cheese mixture, pressing it down gently to fill the bottom of the cone.
  • Slightly flatten the cone to form a puffed triangle shape.
  • Place the stuffed tortilla triangle seam-side down on a sheet tray or cutting board.
  • Repeat with the remaining tortilla halves and filling.
  • Brush each stuffed tortilla triangle with the chili oil mixture.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 190°C (375°F).
  • In batches, air-fry the stuffed tortillas for 6 minutes, or until lightly browned and the filling is heated through.
  • Once all batches are cooked, stack the stuffed tortillas back into the air fryer and air-fry at 165°C (330°F) for up to 3 minutes to warm them all through.
  • Serve the hot chicken stuffed tortillas with salsa on the side, if desired.
