Why this recipe works
Cooked chicken keeps it fast
Using cooked chicken lets the air fryer focus on crisping the tortilla and melting cheese.
A light oil brush crisps the tortilla
Too much oil makes it heavy; a thin coating is enough.
Resting prevents spills
One minute of rest helps the cheese settle before slicing.
