Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400ºF and spray the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray

Notes
- We do not recommend using corn tortillas We tested this recipe using corn tortillas but they kept falling apart Any melty cheese would work here but I like Monterey Jack Hamburger or refried black beans can easily be subbed We would suggest refried beans over regular beans as regular beans would just fall out
