In this article, we will show you how to cook taquitos in an air fryer without losing their signature crunch.
Prepping for the Air Fryer: Ingredients and Supplies
Before we jump into the cooking process, it’s essential to ensure you have the right ingredients and supplies. Here’s a checklist:
- Flavorful fillings of your choice (Ground beef, shredded chicken, fish, or veggies – anything goes!)
- Taquito-sized corn tortillas (Wipe them with a moist towel to remove excess grease and prevent sticking)
- Air fryer safe cooking spray or vegetable oil
- Paper towels for drainings
- Tablespoon-sized salsa (optional) for after-crisping dipping enjoyment
- Sea salt for sprinkling, if desired
**Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. *Load the air fryer:** Place 2-4 taquitos standing up in the air fryer basket, depending on size. Leave a space in between each taquita for even cooking distribution.
**Temperature:** Start at **375°F /190°C**. Remember that temperature control is specific for each air fryer, so adjust according to manufacturer guidelines.
**Set time:** Cook for **42/3 minutes**, or until golden in appearance. If your Taquito filling is extra-favorful, add1 to 2 minutes; monitor closely to avoid overwhelming browned taquita texture.
