Ingredients
Method
- In a medium bowl, stir together the shredded chicken, shredded cheese, and taco seasoning.
- Warm the tortillas by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for about 30 seconds until pliable.
- Brush or spray both sides of each corn tortilla with olive oil, then add about 4 teaspoons of chicken mixture to the center and roll into a tight log.
- Place taquitos seam-side down in the air fryer basket, ensuring not to overcrowd. Spray tops with olive oil.
- Cook at 400 °F (205 °C) for 9-12 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Notes
- Don't skip warming the tortillas: This crucial step prevents them from cracking when rolled. If they still crack, microwave for another 10 seconds.
- For perfectly cooked chicken, ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) if using freshly cooked poultry.
- To achieve maximum crispiness, make sure to spray both sides of the tortilla and the tops of the assembled taquitos with olive oil. This helps with browning and crunch. Nutrition information is an estimate, calculated automatically. Values vary with brands, substitutions and portion sizes.
