Homemade crispy chicken taquitos in minutes! A creamy, cheesy filling, with the convenience of shredded rotisserie chicken, is rolled up in corn tortillas, then cooked in an air fryer until golden brown and crisp. Serve with prepared salsa and guacamole for a quick, fun and hearty dinner or afternoon snack.

Ingredients

Directions

  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. 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. 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. 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.
