Notes
- Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary to ensure even crisping. - For an extra kick, mix in a pinch of chili powder or cumin with your refried beans. - Ensure the tortilla seams are folded tightly to prevent the filling from escaping during cooking. - If the edges of your tortilla start to brown too quickly, you can gently brush them with a little extra olive oil.
