I made these delicious Chicken Taquitos in our air fryer.
Taquitos are typically fried in oil, however these air fryer taquitos are just as crispy and tasty.
I used a store bought rotisserie chicken, some Mexican style cheese, soft corn tortillas and a few spices, that’s it! So easy and so delicious.
I also made some guacamole and used it as a dip for my taquitos along with some salsa and sour cream. A new favorite treat for us!
- Chicken Taquitos -
Ingredients:
2 cups shredded chicken
1+1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1 cup shredded Mexican style blend cheese, cheddar or pepper jack
12 Soft white corn tortillas
Olive oil cooking spray
Additional ingredients for toppings or dipping:
Salsa
Guacamole
Sour cream
Shredded Lettuce
Diced Tomatoes
Diced onion
Pico de Gallo
In a medium bowl add shredded chicken, spices, and cheese, mix to combine all ingredients.
Place tortillas between two damp paper towels and microwave for 20-30 seconds, this makes them easier to roll and helps prevent tearing.
To make the taquitos, place about a tablespoon of chicken mixture down the length of a warmed tortilla slightly off to one side and then roll tortilla edge over chicken mixture and continue to roll up tightly then place seam side down on air fryer basket or pan if baking. Continue for each taquito.
Spray generously with cooking spray.
Air fry or Bake at 425° for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
Remove and serve warm along with additional ingredients for topping or dipping.
Enjoy!
