Air Fryer Chicken Taquitos image

These taquitos are air fried, which makes them healthier than deep fried ones. Using shredded rotisserie chicken provides a quick prep but you can always use home-cooked chicken. Serve with sides of sour cream, Mexican tomato sauce, and guacamole, or your choice of sides.

Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

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
2 tablespoons Neufchatel cheese
½ cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
6 each corn tortillas
1 serving avocado oil cooking spray

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a skillet. Add onion and cook until soft and translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add green chiles and Mexican tomato sauce; stir to combine. Add chicken, Neufchatel cheese, and Mexican cheese blend. Cook and stir until cheeses have melted and mixture is completely warmed, about 3 minutes. Season 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 the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching, and mist with avocado oil. Cook in batches if necessary. Cook until golden brown and crispy, 6 to 9 minutes. Turn taquitos over, mist with avocado oil, and air fry for an additional 3 to 5 minutes.
