Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 8 small corn or flour tortillas
- Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cheese, salsa, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, and salt. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.
- Warm the tortillas in a microwave for about 30 seconds to make them pliable.
- Place about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto one side of each tortilla. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and place it seam-side down on a plate.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Spray the taquitos lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
- Arrange the taquitos in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Don’t overcrowd; you may need to cook in batches.
- Air fry for 6-8 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, shaking the basket halfway through cooking.
- Remove the taquitos from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving. Serve with additional salsa or guacamole if desired.
