Not only are they tasty, but using an air fryer means they’ll be a bit healthier than traditional frying methods. Let’s get cooking!

Ingredients

8 small flour tortillas
2 cups shredded cooked chicken (or rotisserie chicken)
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
1 can refried beans (optional)
Cooking spray or olive oil

Instructions

Start by preheating your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
While that’s heating up, take each tortilla and spread a thin layer of refried beans (if using) on it.
Add about 1/4 cup of shredded chicken and a sprinkle of cheese on one side of the tortilla.
Roll the tortilla tightly to form a flauta and secure it with a toothpick if needed.
Repeat this process until all of your tortillas are filled and rolled.
Lightly spray the outside of each flauta with cooking spray or brush with olive oil to achieve that perfect golden color.
Place the rolled flautas in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to work in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Cook for 8-10 minutes or until they are crispy and golden brown, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Carefully remove the flautas from the air fryer and let them cool for a minute before serving.
Serve with your favorite salsa, guacamole, or sour cream for dipping!
