Best Air Fryer Taquitos 2 Ways Recipe By Tasty Recipes

AIR FRYER CHICKEN TAQUITOS

Air Fryer Chicken Taquitos image

These taquitos are air fried, which makes them healthier than deep fried ones. Using shredded rotisserie chicken provides a quick prep but you can always use home-cooked chicken. Serve with sides of sour cream, Mexican tomato sauce, and guacamole, or your choice of sides.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 teaspoon vegetable oil
2 tablespoons diced onion
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chopped green chiles (such as Ortega®)
2 tablespoons Mexican-style hot tomato sauce (such as El Pato®)
1 cup shredded rotisserie chicken
2 tablespoons Neufchatel cheese
½ cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
6 each corn tortillas
1 serving avocado oil cooking spray

Steps:

Heat oil in a skillet. Add onion and cook until soft and translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add green chiles and Mexican tomato sauce; stir to combine. Add chicken, Neufchatel cheese, and Mexican cheese blend. Cook and stir until cheeses have melted and mixture is completely warmed, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat tortillas in a skillet or directly on the grates of a gas stove until soft and pliable. Place 3 tablespoons of chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla. Fold over and roll into taquitos.
Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Place taquitos in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching, and mist with avocado oil. Cook in batches if necessary. Cook until golden brown and crispy, 6 to 9 minutes. Turn taquitos over, mist with avocado oil, and air fry for an additional 3 to 5 minutes.

Yield 12 taquitos

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
2 stalks celery, finely diced
½ cup Frank's® RedHot® Buffalo 'N Ranch Thick Sauce, plus more for serving
4 oz cream cheese, room temperature
½ teaspoon kosher salt
4 cups vegetable oil, for frying
1 tablespoon all purpose flour
2 tablespoons water
12 corn tortillas

Steps:

Heat the vegetable oil in a large, high-walled skillet over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C).
In a large bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, diced celery, Frank's® RedHot® Buffalo 'N Ranch Thick Sauce, cream cheese, and salt until fully combined.
In a small bowl, mix together the flour and water to create a paste.
Stack the tortillas on a plate, cover with a damp paper towel, and microwave for 1 minute, until softened and warmed through.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the lower third of a tortilla, then tightly roll up the tortilla, brushing a bit of flour paste on the edge of the tortilla to seal together. Place seam-side down on a baking sheet and repeat with the remaining ingredients.
Add 3-4 of the rolled taquitos at a time to the hot oil, seam-side down, and fry, turning halfway through, for 4 minutes, or until golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve with more Frank's® RedHot® Buffalo 'N Ranch Thick Sauce for dipping.
Enjoy!
