# Steps to Make This:

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F to ensure even cooking and a crispy finish.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly combine shredded chicken, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, black beans, sweet corn, diced tomatoes, taco seasoning, and pico de gallo.
03 -
Spoon approximately 1 cup of filling onto the center of each tortilla. Fold in both sides, then roll tightly from the bottom to secure the filling.
04 -
Lightly spray the outside of each burrito with cooking spray to promote crisping during air frying.
05 -
Place burritos in the preheated air fryer basket. Cook for 5 minutes, flip carefully, spray the opposite side, and cook an additional 5 minutes until golden and crisp.
06 -
Remove from the air fryer and serve warm, garnished with sour cream and fresh pico de gallo as desired.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
For the best texture, ensure cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing. Avoid overfilling tortillas to prevent bursting during cooking.
