I love making these Air-Fryer Chicken Taquitos because they're so easy and quick! Start by mixing shredded rotisserie chicken, Mexican cheese, sour cream, and some spices in a bowl. Once it's all combined, it's time to roll up the tortillas and air-fry them until they're crispy and golden. Serve them with some salsa, guacamole, and sour cream for a delicious meal the whole family will love. A large air fryer helps make this recipe complete in less batches; see the link below for the air fryer I used prior to owning an air fryer oven.

Ingredients

  • • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • • 1 1/2 cups Mexican-blend shredded cheese
  • • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
  • • Hot sauce (optional)
  • • 12 6-inch corn tortillas
  • • Cooking spray
  • • Salsa and guacamole, for serving

Steps

  1. 1.Combine the chicken, shredded cheese, sour cream, cumin, chili powder and a big pinch each of salt and pepper in a large bowl. Mix well; season with hot sauce, if desired.
  2. 2.Lay out 6 tortillas on a work surface. Divide about half of the chicken mixture among the tortillas, piling it on the bottom third of the tortillas. Roll up to make the taquitos.
  3. 3.Spray the tops of the taquitos with cooking spray. Arrange in the basket of a 6-quart air fryer, seam-side down. Air-fry at 400 degrees F for 6 minutes; flip and spray with more cooking spray and continue to air-fry until browned and crisp, 2 to 4 more minutes.
  4. 4.While the first batch cooks, roll up the second batch of taquitos using the remaining tortillas and filling. Repeat the air-frying process. Serve the taquitos with salsa, guacamole and sour cream.

Notes

  • • Can substitute rotisserie chicken for pork, beef, etc.
