Add onion and pepper; cook, stirring often, until tender-crisp, about 4 minutes. Stir in beans, chicken, water and taco seasoning until combined; cook, stirring often, until the juices thicken and the mixture is warmed through, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly, uncovered, 5 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat air fryer to 400°F for 5 minutes. Add cheese to the cooled chicken mixture; stir until evenly combined. Working with 3 tortillas at a time, wrap the tortillas in a damp paper towel; microwave on High until warm, about 20 seconds. Place the warmed tortillas on a work surface and spoon about 1/3 cup chicken mixture into the center of each. Roll up tightly and place seam-side down on the work surface. Repeat the warming and rolling process with the remaining tortillas and filling. Lightly coat the air-fryer basket with cooking spray. Place 6 rolled taquitos, seam-side down, in the prepared basket; coat with cooking spray. Cook, flipping once and coating with additional cooking spray, until well browned and crispy, 8 to 9 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish and cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat the process with the remaining taquitos. Serve with pico de gallo, sour cream and cilantro.

Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
