- In a bowl, mix shredded chicken, salsa, cream cheese, cheddar, cumin, smoked paprika and garlic powder. Season to taste.
- Warm tortillas briefly so they are pliable, then divide filling between them.
- Fold in sides and roll tightly into burrito shapes. Place seam-side down and brush lightly with oil.
- Preheat air fryer to 200°C. Air fry chimichangas in batches for 7 to 9 minutes, turning once, until crisp and golden.
- Rest for 2 minutes, then serve hot with sour cream, guacamole and extra salsa.
Notes
Brush tortillas lightly with oil before air frying for a deeper golden finish.
Do not overcrowd the basket; cook in batches so each chimichanga crisps evenly.
