- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder

Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, Monterey Jack cheese, cheddar cheese, salsa, diced green chilies, ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Wrap the tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20-30 seconds, until soft and pliable.
- Spoon some of the chicken mixture onto the center of a tortilla. Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla up over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll the tortilla up to form a tight cylinder. Place each rolled tortilla seam-side down in the air fryer basket. Spray each with cooking spray to help crisp the exterior.
