Directions:

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer to 385˚
  2. In a bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, and taco seasoning.
  3. Working with one tortilla at a time, add 1/4 cup of the creamy chicken mixture and 1/4 cup of shredded cheese. Roll up tightly. Repeat 8x.
  4. Place 4 flautas in the air fryer, seam side down, and set the timer for 8 minutes. At the halfway point, your air fryer should sound to let you know to flip your food. Flip and continue cooking.

Chef Tips:

If using already prepared shredded chicken or canned chicken, heat the chicken up first before mixing in the softened cream cheese. You want it to be warm and well incorporated.

For oven use: Preheat oven to 400, follow steps then bake for 12 minutes and rotate half way through.
