Air Fryer Taquitos
These air fryer taquitos are cheesy, crispy, and done in minutes!
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
For the taquitos:
- 1 1/2 cups shredded chicken from a rotisserie chicken or about 3/4 pound of cooked chicken breast or thighs
- 1 1/4 cups finely shredded Monterey jack or cheddar cheese
- 2 teaspoons taco seasoning*
- 16 street taco-sized 4.5 inch corn tortillas
- Spray oil or 2 teaspoons of olive oil
For the dipping sauce:
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup salsa
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer.
- Combine the shredded chicken, shredded cheese, and taco seasoning in a bowl.
- Stack the tortillas on a plate (or another microwave-safe surface) and microwave for 15 seconds. Then, flip and microwave for an additional 15 seconds.
- Working one at a time, spray (or brush) each tortilla with oil, then flip it over and fill with about 2 tablespoons of chicken filling, then tightly roll the tortilla and press down on it to help seal it. Place the taquito seam-side-down in the air fryer basket, then repeat for the remaining 15 taquitos.
- Air fry at 380°F for 7-8 minutes, then flip the taquitos and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until browned and crisp.
- For the sauce, blend the sour cream and salsa until fully combined, then serve alongside the taquitos.
Notes
- If you don't have taco seasoning on hand, you can use 1/2 tsp sea salt, 1/2 tsp chili powder, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp onion powder, 1/4 tsp cumin, 1/4 tsp ground black pepper instead
