Air Fryer Chicken Stuffed Tortillas
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.
