Ingredients

  • 2 Cups Shredded Chicken Breast
  • 4 Oz Cream Cheese Room temperature
  • 1 Cup Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese
  • 8 Flour Tortillas
  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, add the chicken and mix it with your favorite taco seasoning. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, chicken and shredded cheese until throughly combined.
  • Lay a tortilla on a flat surface and add 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture spreading the mixture one inch from the top of the tortilla.
  • Tightly roll up the tortilla three-quarters, then brush some olive oil on the unrolled part of the tortilla, and then complete the roll. Repeat for the remaining tortillas.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 380 degrees.
  • Add the taquitos seam side down and brush the top with olive oil.
  • Cook for 5 minutes or until golden brown. Do not crowd the basket. Cook in batches if needed. 
  • Let them cool and serve with your favorite salsa. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat any leftovers at 380 degrees for 1-3 minutes.
  • Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature or won't mix well with the chicken and cheese. 
  • You may need to cook these in batches, depending on the size of your air fryer. 
  • These are great to make in advance. When ready to eat, just brush with olive oil and cook. 
  • We have also tested using a hand mixer, which is great if you don't have a lot of time.
