Air Fryer Taquitos And Charred Salsa Recipes

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.

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.

• When the Air Fryer is hot, spray or brush the tray with olive oil and place the taquitos in a single layer on the tray, seam side up. Brush the tops of the taquitos with more olive oil. Cook the taquitos at 380 degrees for 4 minutes, flip, and cook for 4 more minutes.
• Serve immediately and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired. Serve with guacamole, salsa, and sour cream for dipping and shredding iceberg lettuce on the side.
