Crispy chicken taquitos are easy to make in the air fryer and are ready in about 30 minutes. All you need is shredded chicken, salsa, cheese, and sour cream to fill the tortillas.

Directions

Mealthy Tip

If you want to make this completely from scratch, use the Mealthy pressure cooker salsa chicken recipe. Drain the liquid off really well, and use 1¾ cups salsa chicken instead of rotisserie chicken and salsa.

Try carnitas or shredded beef for a different meat option.

Looking for vegetarian taquitos? Use black beans or pinto beans instead of the chicken. Want a gluten-free taquito? Use corn tortillas instead of the flour tortillas.

Taquitos are a family favorite around here -- hadn't considered an air fryer for them so this is a very welcome addition to our taquitos lifestyle. Topping with pickled red onions is just the icing on the cake! Yum!
