Notes
- For efficiency: While each batch of taquitos is cooking, prepare the next batch. Do not roll up all the taquitos at one time. They will dry out, and the tortillas will start to crack while waiting to be cooked. You can keep them warm in a 200°F oven while each batch cooks.
- Warm up the tortillas to make them pliable. Don’t skip this step! Otherwise, they will break when you start to roll them.
- Wrap the taquitos tightly so they do not come apart in the air fryer. Be careful, though, as corn tortillas crack easily.
- Place the air fryer chicken taquitos seam side down in the air fryer basket. This will ensure they do not fall apart.
