Air Fryer Chicken Taquitos Ingredients:
  • 1 medium chicken breast
  • 75 g grated cheese
  • 3 Tbsp soft cheese
  • 4 Tbsp salsa
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 2 Tsp Mexican seasoning
  • Egg wash optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Load your raw chicken into the air fryer and sprinkle with Mexican seasoning. Cook for 8 minutes at 180c/360f or until fully cooked. Allow to cool when done.
  2. Shred your chicken and load into a bowl with salsa, grated cheese, soft cheese and the remaining Mexican seasoning. Mix well.
  3. Fill 8 tortillas with your chicken filling and brush with egg wash.
  4. Cook for 8 minutes at 180c/360f and serve.

Notes

  • If you want to make authentic chicken taquitos use corn tortillas or for flautas use flour tortillas.
  • We used a spare pack of butterflied chicken from the fridge. This was about the same as one medium chicken breast. Do use whatever you have in.
  • The cooking time for our chicken taquitos includes time to cook the chicken, but if you have leftover rotisserie chicken your time will be halved.
  • I like an extra bit of Mexican seasoning in my taquitos. I added half to the chicken as it cooked and half to the bowl to mix the filling. You can leave this out if you prefer.
  • You can use any grated cheese. Just make sure it is a cheese that melts well. Or if you can get it opt for Mexican cheese.
