Enjoy crispy Air Fryer Chicken Taquitos Crispy golden and bursting with flavor. This recipe is perfect for an easy dinner or a weeknight family dinner with delicious chicken taquito filling and crispy taquitos air fryer style.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups shredded chicken
  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup shredded Colby Jack cheese
  • ½ cup chunky salsa
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • 16 small corn tortillas or flour tortillas
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Warm the tortillas by stacking them on a microwave-safe plate, covering with a damp paper towel, and heating for 20 to 25 seconds to make them pliable.
  2. Combine the chicken, cream cheese, taco seasoning, salsa, and shredded cheese in a medium bowl and mix until fully blended.
  3. Place a tortilla flat and spoon about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture near the bottom, then roll it up tightly three-quarters of the way. Brush olive oil on the remaining unrolled part and finish rolling. Repeat with all tortillas.
  4. Preheat the air fryer to 380 degrees Fahrenheit.
  5. Brush the outside of each taquito with olive oil and arrange them seam side down in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overlapping; cook in batches if necessary.
  6. Air fry for 5 minutes or until the taquitos turn golden brown and crispy.
  7. Remove the taquitos from the air fryer, let them cool slightly, and serve with your favorite dips.

Notes

  • *Store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days
  • *Reheat by air frying at 360 degrees Fahrenheit for 1-3 minutes until crispy
  • *Always warm tortillas before rolling to prevent cracking especially with corn tortillas
  • *Do not overfill the tortillas to make rolling easier
  • *Soften cream cheese to room temperature for better mixing
  • *Adjust air fryer cooking time based on your model
