# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
Set the air fryer to 400°F and allow it to preheat for even cooking and optimal crispness.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, blend shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, black beans, drained corn, diced tomatoes, taco seasoning, and pico de gallo until fully incorporated.
03 -
Place approximately 1 cup of the filling in the center of each tortilla, fold the sides inward, then roll from the bottom up tightly to secure the filling.
04 -
Lightly spray the exterior of each assembled burrito with cooking spray to promote a golden, crispy finish.
05 -
Arrange burritos in the preheated air fryer basket. Cook for 5 minutes, carefully flip each one, reapply cooking spray, and cook for an additional 5 minutes until crispy.
06 -
Remove burritos from air fryer and serve immediately with sour cream and extra pico de gallo for garnish.
# Helpful Hints:
01 -
Allow cream cheese to reach room temperature prior to mixing for a smoother filling.
02 -
Avoid overfilling tortillas to prevent bursting during cooking.
03 -
Flipping burritos halfway ensures even crispness on all sides.
