Crispy Air Fryer Chicken Flautas
Crispy air fryer chicken flautas with shredded chicken, cheese, and taco seasoning are a quick and delicious appetizer.
Ingredients
- 1 cup finely shredded cooked chicken (roasted or rotisserie chicken or drained canned cooked chicken)
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 4-6 flour or corn tortillas (about 5-7 inch sized)
- Oil (for spraying)
- Guacamole
- Shredded Lettuce or Cabbage
- Salsa or Pico de Gallo
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine shredded chicken, sour cream, taco seasoning, and cheddar cheese. Stir to combine.
- Warm the tortillas slightly (microwave for 20-30 seconds or briefly on a dry skillet) to make them pliable.
- Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the center of each tortilla.
- Tightly roll up each tortilla, tucking in the sides if possible, to form a flauta shape. Secure with a toothpick if needed.
- Lightly spray the flautas all over with cooking oil. Arrange them in a single layer in your air fryer basket.
- Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings like guacamole, salsa, shredded lettuce, sour cream, and lime wedges.
Notes
- Use leftover shredded chicken (rotisserie is great!) for a quicker prep.
- Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if needed for maximum crispiness.
- For extra flavor, mix a little lime juice into the chicken filling before rolling. Nutrition information is an estimate, calculated automatically. Values vary with brands, substitutions and portion sizes.
