These homemade chicken chimichangas taste just like a deep-fried burrito from your go-to Mexican restaurant, but they’re homemade and ridiculously easy to prep. Rotisserie chicken, refried beans, green chiles and cheese get stuffed in tortillas before the air fryer gives them a deep-fried feel without the grease!
