Notes

Expert Tips:
  • Don't overstuff the tortillas with chicken and cheese, this makes them more difficult to roll.
  • Place the taquitos into the air fryer seam side down so they don't come in open while cooking.
  • Don't crowd the taquitos in the air fryer basket. Leave plenty of room for the air to circulate around the taquitos for the best results.
