Air Fryer Chicken Taquitos
These air fryer taquitos are a fast, easy-to-make dinner. Using shredded rotisserie chicken saves time, but you can also use leftover cooked chicken. Serve with sour cream, Mexican tomato sauce, and guacamole, or choose your favorite sides.
Ingredient
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons diced onion
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons chopped green chiles (such as Ortega®)
- 2 tablespoons Mexican-style hot tomato sauce (such as El Pato®)
- 1 cup shredded rotisserie chicken
- ½ cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 2 tablespoons Neufchâtel cheese
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 6 corn tortillas
- avocado oil cooking spray
Direction
- Gather all ingredients.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook until soft and translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add green chiles and Mexican tomato sauce; stir to combine. Add shredded chicken, Mexican cheese blend, and Neufchâtel cheese. Cook and stir until cheeses have melted and mixture is warmed through, about 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Heat tortillas in a skillet or directly on the grates of a gas stove until soft and pliable. Place 3 tablespoons of chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla. Fold over and roll into taquitos.
- Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place taquitos in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching, and mist with avocado oil.
- Cook until golden brown, 6 to 9 minutes. Turn taquitos over, mist with avocado oil, and air fry until crispy, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Serve and enjoy!
