These air fryer taquitos are easy to make and loaded with flavor. You can easily enjoy these taquitos as a party appetizer.
Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees.
Boil a pot of water and cook the chicken breasts for 15 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Once cool to touch, shred the chicken. Give it a rough chop so the pieces are small and easy to eat.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Add the avocado oil. Once hot, sauté the minced garlic and diced onion until soft. Add the canned diced green chilies with the juice. Season the vegetables with cumin, salt, black pepper and garlic powder. Mix well and remove from the heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, room temperature cream cheese, shredded Mexican cheese blend, and seasoned sautéed vegetables. Mix well.
Heat the tortillas and begin filling them with the chicken vegetable mixture. You’ll get 10-12 depending on size.
Add one row of the rolled taquitos into the air fryer basket, don’t overlap. Spray them with olive oil spray and cook them for 5 minutes at 400. Turn them over and cook for 1 additional minute. Work in batches if your air fryer is smaller. Once they are all cooked, you can top them with diced tomatoes, diced jalapeno, sliced scallions, and lime wedges.
