Air Fryer Taquitos

Air fryer taquitos are addictive, tortillas prepared with a tasty filling, folded into a flute like shape and then shallow fried in vegetable oil until golden brown, then served with crema and salsa, what’s not to love.

With an air fryer not only can you prepare them in half of the time, but you can also save a lot of calories as the only oil needed is a bit of cooking oil sprayed on the outside. The air fryer does the rest of the work by turning them nice and crispy.

A few things to remember when using the air fryer:

• Preheat the air fryer. This will make cooking time much faster and you will achieve best results.
• Don’t overcrowd the air fryer. Place just enough taquitos to cook at one time, depending on the size of your appliance, we recommend 4 at a time.
• To achieve crispy taquitos and golden on the outside, you can add a coat of olive oil spray before placing them in the air fryer.

What to serve with air fryer crispy taquitos:

• Avocado Crema
• Arroz Primavera
• Homemade Guacamole

Chef Tip: To keep the shape of your taquitos, fold them tight and add a skewer through the center holding the flappy end. Then place it in the air fryer tray, add the spray oil and cook.
