Our delicious taquitos are crispy and crunchy on the outside with creamy, cheesy interiors. We prefer flour tortillas, but you can use corn, just be sure to microwave them wrapped in a damp paper towel for 30 seconds to ensure they are pliant. In Step 1, the cream cheese should be quite soft. If not, microwave for 5-10 seconds until it’s easy to stir.

Ingredients

  • 4 oz cream cheese, room temperature
  • 2 cups rotisserie chicken, finely shredded
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • ½ tsp chili powder
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 4 oz shredded mexican cheese
  • 12 (6-inch) flour tortillas
  • 1 cup salsa, to serve

Directions

1) In a large bowl, mix together cream cheese, cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder until smooth. Stir in shredded chicken followed by the shredded cheese. 

2) Working with one tortilla at a time, mist one side of the tortilla with cooking spray and then flip over. Fill tortilla with ¼ cup filling and roll up tightly to seal, ensuring the seam is facing down. Place in a greased Suvie Air Fry basket. 

3) Repeat filling and rolling tortillas until you have 12 taquitos divided between 2 Suvie Air Fry baskets. Place baskets in Suvie, ensuring the saute pans are in place underneath each basket to catch any drips.  

4) Input settings and cook now or schedule, carefully flipping taquitos over halfway through cooking.

I havenʻt tried these yet (so maybe I should keep my thoughts to myself?), but being from So Cal, I canʻt stand the thought of “taquitos” being made with flour tortillas (where I come from “rolled tacos” made with flour tortillas are called flautas). I can imagine using corn tortillas, lightly brushed (or sprayed) with avocado oil to make them more pliable for rolling. They should turn out nice and crispy with the air fry function. Yummy!
