Ingredients
  

Filling
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 0.5 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 0.5 cucchiaino garlic powder
  • 0.5 cucchiaino onion powder
  • 0.5 cucchiaino cumin
  • 0.5 cucchiaino salt
Tortillas
  • 8 small corn tortillas

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and salt. Mix until well blended.
  2. Heat the corn tortillas in the microwave for about 30 seconds to make them pliable.
  3. Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the lower third of each tortilla and roll tightly, securing the filling inside.
  4. Place the rolled taquitos seam-side down in the air fryer basket.
  5. Lightly spray the taquitos with cooking spray to help them crisp up.
  6. Air fry at 400°F for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking.
  7. Remove from the air fryer and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For a spicier kick, add some diced jalapeños to the filling. Serve with salsa or guacamole for dipping.
