¾ cup from 1 can 16 oz Traditional Refried Beans

Combine beans and chiles in a small mixing bowl. Spread about 3 tablespoons of the bean mixture in the center of the tortilla on the work surface. Add about 1/4 cup of the chicken and 2 tablespoons of the cheese on top. Fold the tortilla's sides in. Fold the bottom over the filling and the sides. Enclose the filling by rolling tightly. Rep with the remaining tortillas. Brush the outside of each filled tortilla with melted butter; place four in the air fryer basket, seam side down. Preheat the oven to 400°F and cook for 4 minutes.  Cook for 2–3 minutes more until lightly browned and heated through. Rep with the remaining four filled tortillas.
