- 3 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 cup shredded pepper Jack cheese
- 1/4 cup salsa verde green salsa
- 1 4 oz. can diced green chilies
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 6 8 inch flour tortillas
- Non-stick cooking spray
In a medium bowl, combine chicken, lime juice, cheese, salsa verde, diced chilies, cumin, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.
Place about 1/2 cup of the filling on the bottom 1/3 of a tortilla. Wrap the tortilla around the filling, folding the edges in towards the center as you roll. Place seam side down on a parchment lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees. Spray the chimichangas with cooking spray.
Add 2-3 chimichangas to the air fryer, seam side down. Cook for about 8 minutes, turning once halfway through cooking, until crisp and golden brown. Repeat with remaining chimichangas.
Serve with lettuce, avocado, salsa, sour cream, etc. and other favorite taco toppings.
