Spray the air fryer basket with non-stick olive oil cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, mix together the shredded rotisserie chicken, cream cheese, diced green chiles and taco seasoning until combined.
Spread one fourth of the chicken mixture onto the middle of a flour tortilla; sprinkle 1/2 c. shredded cheese next to the chicken mixture.
Roll one side of the tortilla over the filling, fold the edges in, and roll the remaining tortilla edge underneath to form a burrito. Repeat with the remaining filling, creating 4 chimichangas.
Working in batches, place 2 chimichangas in the air fryer. Generously spray the tops of the chimichangas with the olive oil cooking spray or melted butter to help crisp them up and give a golden color.
Cook in the air fryer on the air fry setting at 400 degrees F for 8-9 minutes, flipping halfway through and spraying again with the non-stick spray.
Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
