# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Set the air fryer to 400°F to ensure an even, crispy result.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, taco seasoning, and pico de gallo. Mix until thoroughly blended.
03 -
Lay one flour tortilla flat and place approximately 1 cup of filling in the center. Fold in the sides, then roll tightly from the bottom, securing the burrito seam side down.
04 -
Lightly mist the exterior of each assembled burrito with cooking spray to promote crispiness.
05 -
Arrange burritos seam side down in a preheated air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 5 minutes, flip, mist the opposite side with additional cooking spray, and cook for another 5 minutes until the tortillas are golden and crisp.
06 -
Transfer burritos to serving plates and top with sour cream and additional pico de gallo as desired. Enjoy immediately for best texture.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Allow cream cheese to reach room temperature for smooth mixing and even distribution throughout the filling.
02 -
Do not overfill tortillas to prevent bursting or uneven cooking in the air fryer.
03 -
Flip burritos halfway through cooking to achieve uniform crispiness on all sides.
