Ingredients
  

4 large flour tortillas

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup buffalo sauce (adjust to taste)

1 cup shredded cooked chicken (or shredded jackfruit for a vegetarian option)

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup green onions, chopped

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Cooking spray or olive oil spray

Instructions
 

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, shredded chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is well combined and creamy.

    Lay out the tortillas on a flat surface. Divide the buffalo cream cheese mixture evenly among the tortillas, spreading it across each one, leaving a small border around the edges.

      Roll each tortilla tightly into a log. Slice each log into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1 to 2 inches thick.

        Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.

          Place the tortilla bites in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd them. You may need to work in batches.

            Air fry the tortilla bites for 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy, flipping them halfway through the cooking time for even crispness.

              Remove the tortilla bites from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions for added color and flavor.

                  - Presentation Tips: Serve the tortilla bites on a platter with a side of additional buffalo sauce or ranch dressing for dipping. You can also sprinkle some extra chopped green onions on top for a fresh touch. Enjoy!
