Air Fryer Chicken Taquitos

Ingredients

  • 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

Directions

  1. 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 with salt and pepper.

  2. 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.

  3. Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  4. 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.
