- ½ Medium Yellow Onion
- ¼ cup Cilantro Leaves

Instructions
- Boil tomatillos for 5 minutes. Once cooled, add tomatillos, jalapenos, onion, cilantro, garlic, lime, salt, and avocado to a chopper, or blender. Combine until very smooth, and set aside.
- Chop or shred two cooked chicken breasts (I used a rotisserie chicken it is a great hack!).
- Put shredded/chopped chicken into a skillet along with ½ cup of tomatillo salsa, and combine until just warmed. Set aside.
- Heat a skillet on medium high and spray with canola oil. Add one corn tortilla at a time and cook slightly, just until pliable. Put onto a plate with paper towels.

- Roll each corn tortilla with a tablespoon (or more) of chicken mixture, and set onto a plate, seam side down.
- Transfer rolled corn tortillas to the air fryer, seam side down, and cook for 20 minutes (I turned them over halfway through the cooking process, so they would cook evenly.
