Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken beef, or pork
- 1/2 cup finely chopped white onion or yellow onion
- 1 (5 ounce can) diced green chiles
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 (16 ounce can) refried beans

Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked meat, green chiles, diced onion, cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Warm the tortillas by wrapping them in a towel and microwaving for 30-45 seconds.
- Spoon about 1/2 cup of the meat mixture, 2 tablespoons of refried beans, and a sprinkle of cheese onto each tortilla. Tightly roll up the tortilla and place it fold-side down on a baking sheet. Use a toothpick if necessary to keep it from unrolling.
- Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Lightly spritz or baste the chimichangas with cooking oil. Air fry for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through if needed. Work in batches if necessary.
- Let the chimichangas cool for 1-2 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
