Description

Crunchy Air Fryer Garlic Parmesan Taquitos are a delightful snack that combines comfort food with a healthier twist, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cup shredded chicken (cooked)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 8 small flour tortillas
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

1. In a spacious mixing bowl, combine your shredded chicken, shredded cheese, cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and Parmesan cheese. Use a fork or spatula to mix until everything is well-blended and creamy.

2. Take one flour tortilla and place about 2 tablespoon of the filling at one end. Roll it tightly, tucking in the sides as you go to prevent the filling from spilling out. If necessary, secure the rolled tortilla with a toothpick to keep it in place.

3. Set your air fryer to 400°F and allow it to preheat for about 5 minutes. This step is crucial for achieving those perfectly crispy taquitos!

4. Lightly spray the assembled taquitos with cooking spray, coating them evenly. Place the taquitos in the air fryer basket seam side down, ensuring they’re not overcrowded. Cook them for 10-12 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Remember to shake the basket halfway through for even cooking!

5. Take the taquitos out of the air fryer and let them cool for a minute or two. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce, whether it’s salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.

Notes

Choose soft flour tortillas for the best wrap.

For optimal melting and flavor, a blend of shredded cheddar and Mexican cheese works wonders.

Keep an eye on the color of the taquitos! Every air fryer is different.

Feel free to add extra ingredients like sautéed bell peppers, spinach, or different proteins for creative variations.
