Air fryer chicken taquitos are a delightful and easy-to-make snack that perfectly combines crispy textures with savoury flavours. To prepare, start by shredding some cooked chicken, which could be leftover roast chicken or a quick poach. Mix it with a blend of spices, such as cumin and paprika, and add a sprinkle of cheese for that luxurious melt.

Next, take soft corn tortillas and fill them generously with the chicken mixture, rolling them tightly to create little parcels. Once filled, brush the taquitos lightly with oil to help them achieve that golden crust in the air fryer. Set the device to a medium heat and let it work its magic; in no time, you’ll have perfectly crisp, golden taquitos that are ideal for dipping in guacamole or salsa.

These air fryer chicken taquitos make for a wonderful party snack or a satisfying midweek dinner, bringing a taste of Mexico right to your kitchen with minimal fuss. Enjoy them fresh out of the fryer with a dollop of sour cream on the side for that extra creamy finish.
