Instructions
Mix
Mash the avocado with salt and pepper and stir in the shredded chicken.
Fill
Spread a thin layer of cheese on one tortilla, add the chicken-avocado filling, a little more cheese, and top with the second tortilla.
Air fry
Air fry at 375°F for 4 minutes, flip, and cook 4 more minutes until crisp and melted. Cut into wedges.
- Use a light hand with the cheese to keep them lean.
- Add black beans, spinach or peppers for extra fiber.
- Secure the top tortilla so the air fryer fan doesn't lift it.
