- If using corn tortillas you will want to warm them before rolling the taquitos to keep the tortilla from cracking. Stack 4 to 5 tortillas together and wrap them in a damp paper towel. Microwave the wrapped tortillas for 15 to 20 seconds to warm them.
- Fill the warm tortilla with 2 tablespoons of chicken filling. Roll the tortilla up tightly. You can secure them with a toothpick to keep them from unrolling.15 corn tortillas
- Place the rolled taquitos seem side down in the air fryer basket, unless you have secured them with a toothpick, in a single layer.
- If you want your taquitos extra crispy and brown you can spray the tops with cooking spray or lightly brush them with olive oil. This isn't needed but it does make them nice and golden brown.
- Cook at 375 degrees F for 5 to 7 minutes or until the taquitos are lightly brown, the edges are crispy and the cheese has melted.
- Serve your chicken taquitos with your favorite toppings, dips and side dishes.
