Easy Air Fryer Chicken Taquitos Recipe

These chicken taquitos are filled with a mixture of shredded chicken, cheese, and spices, then rolled tightly and air-fried until golden and crispy. The recipe takes approximately 30 minutes to prepare and serves about 4 people.

Ingredients

2 cups shredded cooked chicken
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
1 teaspoon taco seasoning
8 small corn or flour tortillas
Cooking spray
Sour cream and salsa for serving

Instructions

Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken, cheese, and taco seasoning until well combined.
Assemble the Taquitos: Warm the tortillas slightly in the microwave for easier handling. Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling on one side of each tortilla, roll it tightly, and secure with a toothpick if needed.
Air Fry the Taquitos: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the rolled taquitos in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Lightly spray them with cooking spray to help them crisp up.

Cook: Air fry for 8-10 minutes or until the taquitos are golden brown and crispy, turning halfway through the cooking time for evenness.
Serve: Remove the taquitos from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve with sour cream and salsa for dipping.
