AIR FRYER CHICKEN TAQUITOS
These taquitos are air fried, which makes them healthier than deep fried ones. Using shredded rotisserie chicken provides a quick prep but you can always use home-cooked chicken. Serve with sides of sour cream, Mexican tomato sauce, and guacamole, or your choice of sides.

Tips for Making Air Fryer Taquitos from Scratch:
- Use a sturdy tortilla that won't break when rolled. Corn tortillas are a good option.
- Fill the tortillas evenly with your desired fillings. Don't overfill them, or they will be difficult to roll and seal.
- Fold the tortillas tightly, making sure to tuck in the ends. This will help keep the taquitos from unrolling during cooking.
- Spray the taquitos lightly with oil before air frying. This will help them crisp up and brown evenly.
- Cook the taquitos in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Don't overcrowd the basket, or the taquitos won't cook evenly.
- Flip the taquitos halfway through cooking to ensure that they cook evenly on both sides.
- Serve the taquitos hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Air fryer taquitos are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or meal. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or a quick weeknight dinner. With a little planning, you can even make the taquitos ahead of time and freeze them for later. When you're ready to serve, simply reheat them in the air fryer until they're hot and crispy.
