Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (194°C) for about 5 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cheese, refried beans (if using), chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Warm the corn tortillas in a microwave for about 30 seconds to make them more pliable.
Assembly
- Take a tortilla and place about 2 tablespoons of the filling on one side of the tortilla.
- Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling, making sure to tuck in the sides as you roll.
- Repeat this process for the remaining tortillas and filling.
Cooking
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with oil spray.
- Place the taquitos in a single layer in the basket, avoiding overcrowding.
- Spray the tops of the taquitos lightly with cooking oil.
- Cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning them halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- Once done, remove them and let them cool slightly before serving.

Notes
Ensure the filling is not too wet to avoid sogginess. For gluten-free options, use sturdy tortillas. Let taquitos rest for a minute after cooking for extra crispiness.
