AIR FRYER CHICKEN TAQUITOS
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.

AIR FRYER ROASTED SALSA
This simple restaurant-style salsa is made with vegetables that are first roasted in your air fryer. Roasting adds an extra depth of flavor, while mellowing the usual bite you'd get from the onion and garlic. If you have an air fryer with a smaller basket, you can halve the recipe or roast the veggies in 2 batches. The longer you let the salsa sit, the better it becomes!

Tips:
- Choose the right tortillas: Corn tortillas are the traditional choice for taquitos, but you can also use flour tortillas if you prefer. Corn tortillas are more likely to crack when you roll them, so be careful not to overfill them. Flour tortillas are more pliable and can be rolled more tightly.
- Use a variety of fillings: Taquitos can be filled with almost anything, but some popular fillings include shredded chicken, beef, pork, beans, cheese, and vegetables. You can also add spices, herbs, and sauces to taste.
- Roll the taquitos tightly: To prevent them from falling apart, roll the taquitos tightly. You can use a toothpick or skewer to secure them if necessary.
- Preheat your air fryer: This will help the taquitos cook evenly and prevent them from sticking. Air fry the taquitos at a high temperature for a few minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauce: Taquitos are traditionally served with salsa, but you can also serve them with guacamole, sour cream, or any other dipping sauce you like.
Conclusion:
Air fryer taquitos are a quick, easy, and delicious way to enjoy this classic Mexican dish. With a variety of fillings and dipping sauces to choose from, there's a taquito for everyone. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying snack or meal, give air fryer taquitos a try.
