Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts cooked and shredded
- 1/2 cup your favorite BBQ sauce
- 4 oz cream cheese or dairy free/fat free option
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or dairy free/fat free option
- 8 corn tortillas
Instructions
- Cook the chicken: If you haven't already, cook your chicken breasts in the crock pot with chicken stock. Cook for 3-4 hours on high or until the chicken is fully cooked and easy to shred.
- Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, BBQ sauce, softened cream cheese, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix well until everything is evenly incorporated.
- Assemble the tacos: Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the tortillas. Fold them in half to enclose the filling. If the corn tortillas are stiff and not able to fold, microwave for 30 seconds so they are soft before stuffing.
- Air fry: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F. Place the filled and folded tacos in the air fryer basket in a single layer, without overcrowding. Air fry for 3-5 minutes per side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
