# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F to ensure even cooking and a crispy finish.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, black beans, drained sweet corn, drained diced tomatoes, taco seasoning, and fresh pico de gallo. Stir until ingredients are thoroughly blended.
03 -
Place one flour tortilla flat and spoon approximately 1 cup of filling onto the center. Fold the sides inward, then roll from the bottom tightly to secure the filling.
04 -
Lightly spray the exterior of each burrito with cooking spray to promote crispness in the air fryer.
05 -
Arrange burritos in the preheated air fryer basket. Cook for 5 minutes, flip carefully, spray opposite sides with cooking spray, and cook an additional 5 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
06 -
Remove burritos from the air fryer and serve warm. Garnish with sour cream and additional pico de gallo as desired.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Ensure cream cheese is softened to blend smoothly with other ingredients for a creamy filling.
02 -
Avoid overfilling tortillas to facilitate rolling and prevent spillage during cooking.
