Ingredients

• 1 package of Delimex White Meat Chicken Corn Taquitos (frozen)

• Cooking spray or parchment liner (to prevent sticking)

• 1 tsp olive oil (optional, for extra crispiness)

• ½ tsp garlic powder (optional, for added flavor)

• ½ tsp chili powder (optional, for a smoky touch)

• ¼ cup grated Cotija or cheddar cheese (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer

Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat for about 3-5 minutes. Preheating ensures the taquitos start crisping up immediately when placed in the air fryer.

Step 2: Prepare the Taquitos

1. Remove the frozen taquitos from the packaging and place them in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to allow for even cooking.

2. Lightly spray with cooking spray or brush with olive oil to enhance crispiness.

3. If desired, sprinkle with garlic powder and chili powder before air frying for extra flavor.

Step 3: Air Fry the Taquitos

• Cook at 375°F for 6-8 minutes, flipping the taquitos halfway through for even crisping.

• For extra crunch, cook an additional 1-2 minutes at 400°F at the end.

• The taquitos should be golden brown and crispy on the outside, while the white meat chicken filling remains hot and tender.

Step 4: Serve & Enjoy

• Transfer the crispy taquitos to a plate and let them cool for 1-2 minutes before serving.

• Garnish with grated Cotija or cheddar cheese and fresh cilantro for added flavor.

• Serve immediately with a side of salsa, guacamole, sour cream, or queso dip.

How to Serve These White Meat Chicken Corn Taquitos

• Classic Appetizer: Serve with fresh pico de gallo or creamy avocado dip.

• Loaded Taquitos: Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a drizzle of sour cream.

• Spicy Twist: Drizzle with hot sauce or a squeeze of lime juice for extra zing.

Pro Tips for Best Results

• Shake the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping.

• For an extra crispy texture, spray with a little extra cooking spray before air frying.

• Use parchment paper or a silicone liner for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.

• Want extra cheesiness? Sprinkle with melted queso or shredded cheese before serving.
