Taquitos In Air Fryer Food

AIR FRYER TAQUITOS

Steps:

• Brown the beef in a large skillet over medium heat. Drain fat.
• Add the taco seasoning, green chiles, and ¼ cup of water to the beef and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Add the tortillas to a microwave safe plate and cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave for 30 seconds.
• Fill each tortilla with about 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture, top with cheese, and roll tightly.
• Place the taquitos seam side down in an air fryer basket, being sure not to overcrowd the basket.
• Spray with nonstick spray.
• Cook at 400 degrees for 6-7 minutes or until taquitos are as crispy as you'd like.
• Serve with salsa, sour cream, and queso for dipping.

TAQUITOS IN AIR FRYER

Steps:

• Preheat the Air Fryer to 380 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray if needed.
• Place the frozen taquitos in a single layer into the bottom of the basket of the air fryer.
• Air Fry the taquitos at 380 degrees Fahrenheit for 8-10 minutes, or until fully cooked and golden brown.
• Carefully remove the air fried taquitos from the basket and serve.

AIR FRYER CHICKEN TAQUITOS

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.

AIR FRYER TAQUITOS AND CHARRED SALSA

Steps:

• For the salsa: Preheat a 6-quart air fryer to 350 degrees F (see Cook's Note).
• Combine the tomatoes, onion, chile, garlic and oil in a large bowl and toss to coat. Transfer to the basket of the air fryer and cook until the skin of the tomatoes and the chile are wrinkled and the onion and garlic are charred, about 10 minutes. Cool slightly.
• When cool enough to handle, peel the skins from the tomatoes and discard. Remove the stem, seeds and skin from the chile and discard. Place the tomatoes, chile, garlic, onion and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a blender. Pulse until smooth. Set aside until ready to serve.
• For the taquitos: Combine the chicken, cheese, pimientos, oregano, cumin, paprika, chili powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl and toss.
• Working in batches, quickly run 4 tortillas under running water. Shake off excess water and place in the air fryer basket. Fry until softened and pliable, 15 to 30 seconds. Fill them while they are still warm: Spread 2 teaspoons refried beans over a tortilla, reserving a bit of bean to dab on the seal. Spread 1 1/2 tablespoons of the chicken filling over the beans. Roll the tortilla over the filling and seal tightly with a little refried bean. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, beans and chicken.
• Spray all sides of the taquitos generously with cooking spray. Place in the air fryer basket (work in batches if needed) and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 8 minutes. Serve warm topped with some of the salsa and sour cream and shredded lettuce.
