Ingredients
- 8 small corn tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cooked chicken
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Cooking spray

Instructions
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, onion powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until everything is well blended.
2. Take your small corn tortillas and warm them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side.
3. Spoon about 2 tablespoon of the chicken mixture onto the center of each warm tortilla. Carefully roll the tortilla tightly around the filling.
4. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F for five minutes.
5. Lightly spray the rolled taquitos with cooking spray and place them seam-side down in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
6. Cook the taquitos in the air fryer for about 8 to 10 minutes or until they are crispy and golden brown, flipping halfway through.
7. Once done, carefully remove them from the air fryer and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
Opt for corn tortillas over flour for that authentic flavor and texture.
Feel free to customize the spice levels according to your preference.
Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket for even cooking.
