Tips:

Choose the right tortillas. Corn tortillas are the best choice for air fryer taquitos because they are less likely to break apart than flour tortillas.
Fill your taquitos evenly. Don't overfill your taquitos, or they will be difficult to roll and seal.
Use a non-stick cooking spray. This will help to prevent your taquitos from sticking to the air fryer basket.
Cook your taquitos in batches. Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket, or your taquitos will not cook evenly.
Serve your taquitos with your favorite toppings. Some popular choices include guacamole, salsa, sour cream, and shredded cheese.

Conclusion:

Air fryer taquitos are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can be made ahead of time. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect air fryer taquitos every time.
