Today, we’re diving into the world of Mexican cuisine, and trust me, you won’t want to miss this!. No more boring, bland meals!
Imagine crispy, golden brown taquitos filled with shredded chicken, melted cheese, and a hint of spice. Sounds amazing, right? Let’s get started!
First, heat some oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until it’s soft and translucent, about 3-5 minutes. Then, add minced garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant.
Next, add chopped green chiles and Mexican-style hot tomato sauce. Stir to combine, then add shredded chicken, Mexican cheese blend, and Neufchâtel cheese. Cook and stir until the cheese has melted and the mixture is warmed through, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Now, it’s time to assemble our taquitos. Heat tortillas in a skillet or directly on the grates of a gas stove until they’re soft and pliable. Place 3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla, then fold over and roll into taquitos.
Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F. Place the taquitos in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they’re not touching, and mist with avocado oil.
Cook the taquitos until they’re golden brown, about 6-9 minutes. Then, turn them over, mist with avocado oil, and air fry until crispy, about 3-5 minutes.
And that’s it! Serve your delicious air fryer taquitos hot, with your favorite toppings such as sour cream, Mexican tomato sauce, and guacamole.
These air fryer taquitos are a game-changer for a quick and easy dinner. They’re perfect for a weeknight meal or a fun snack for a party.
