Homemade Air Fryer Taquitos

🧂 Ingredients

• 3/4 pound boneless

  skinless chicken breasts
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 12 corn tortillas
• 1 cup shredded cheese

  such as cheddar or Monterey Jack
• Cooking spray or oil for brushing

Instructions

• 1 Place the chicken breasts in the air fryer basket. Cook at 380°F (195°C) for
  12-15 mins, until the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) internal temperature. Remove
  the chicken from the air fryer and let cool for a few mins until it can be
  shredded with two forks.
• 2 In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder,
  onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the chicken is
  evenly seasoned.
• 3 Warm the corn tortillas between a damp paper towel in the microwave for a few
  seconds to make them pliable.
• 4 Place a spoonful of the chicken and a sprinkle of cheese on each tortilla. Roll
  the tortillas tightly into cigar shapes. Secure them with toothpicks if it feels
  necessary to hold them together.
• 5 Lightly spray or brush the taquitos with cooking spray [https://amzn.to/3CItry7]
  or oil to help them crisp up in the air fryer.
• 6 Arrange the taquitos in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they
  are not touching each other. You might need to cook them in batches.
• 7 Air fry the taquitos on 375°F(190°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden
  brown and crispy.
• 8 Serve the air fryer taquitos with your favorite dipping sauces such as salsa,
  guacamole, or sour cream.
