Preparation

Step 1
Heat butter in large skillet over medium heat until hot. Once melted, add onion and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook 8 to 10 minutes or until onion is browned and caramelized, stirring occasionally.

Step 2
Meanwhile, in medium bowl combine Jack cheese, cream cheese, salsa and green onion. Stir in caramelized onions and brisket. Preheat air fryer to 400°F.

Step 3
Place tortillas evenly on work surface; spray both sides with cooking spray. Divide meat mixture evenly between tortillas (about 1/2 cup). Roll up tightly.
Cooking Tip: Crisping tortillas, on both sides, in a nonstick skillet before assembling makes rolling easier and prevents crumbling.

Place seam side down, in a single layer, in air fryer basket. Cook 8 to 10 minutes or until browned and crispy.
Cooking Tip: Mix it up! Add corn, diced potatoes or black beans to filling.
