Ingredients

2 cups finely chopped leftover pulled pork
1 cup salsa verde
2 tablespoons cojita cheese
10 (6 inch) flour tortillas
cooking spray

Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) following the manufacturer's guidelines.
In a bowl, mix together the pulled pork, salsa verde, and cojita cheese until well combined.
Place a generous tablespoon of the pork mixture onto the lower half of a tortilla. Fold both sides inward to create an envelope shape. Roll the tortilla tightly, using your fingers to keep the filling secure. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
Lightly coat the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange the burritos seam-side down in the basket, being careful not to overcrowd them. Spray the tops of the burritos with cooking spray.
Air fry for 6 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with any remaining burritos. Serve immediately with extra salsa verde for dipping, if desired.
