Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- 1 teaspoon taco seasoning
- 8 small corn tortillas
- Cooking spray
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prep the Filling: In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cheese, taco seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Wrap the Taquitos: On a clean surface, warm the tortillas slightly to make them pliable. Add about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture to the center of each tortilla and roll tightly, securing with a toothpick if needed.
- Air Fry the Taquitos: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Lightly spray the taquitos with cooking spray and place them in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.
- Serve: Remove the taquitos from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them with your favorite salsa or guacamole.
