Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups shredded chicken (cooked)
  • 1 bell pepper chopped
  • 1/4 sweet onion diced
  • 1//2 cup shredded cheese or dairy-free
  • 1 clove minced garlic
  • 1/4 tsp chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp cumin
  • 1/4 tsp paprika
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 8-10 tortillas

Method
 

  1. Heat saute pan to medium and add olive oil and minced garlic.
  2. Add chopped bell peppers and onion and cook until onions are translucent. About 4-5 minutes.
  3. Add shredded chicken to a bowl. Add cheese, cumin, paprika, chili powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Add the cooked peppers and onions and mix until combined.
  4. Spoon about 3 tbsp of mixture onto the lower third of a tortilla. Roll up tightly and lay tortilla seam side down on air fryer sheet. Repeat with all tortillas.
  5. Spray tortillas lightly with olive oil or avocado oil and sprinkle with a little sea salt or garlic salt.
  6. Air fry at 350° F for about 7 minutes or until they are just barely golden brown.
  7. Serve with guacamole, salsa, lime, cilantro, and sour cream.

Notes

If you want to bake instead of air fry, bake at 400° F for 15-20 minutes or until they start to become golden brown. 
If using corn tortillas instead make sure to layer tortillas with a moist paper towel and microwave for a few minutes before you fill and roll them up. I like to use Siete almond flour tortillas.
