Notes
Recipe was made in the both Instant Pot Vortex Air Fryer and the Ninja Air Fryer
You can use leftover rotisserie chicken or shredded cooked chicken seasoned with taco seasoning and salsa in place of salsa chicken
If you don't have an air fryer, bake the chimichangas at 400 degrees until brown
