Steps:

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 390°F.

  2. Place your desired number of taquitos into the basket of the air fryer.

  3. Brush a thin layer of oil onto the taquitos (optional, but recommended for extra crispiness).

  4. Cook the taquitos for 8-10 minutes, flipping them halfway through.

Pro Tips and Variations:

  • Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket- this will lead to uneven cooking.

  • For even crispier taquitos, you can brush a beaten egg onto them before cooking.

  • Experiment with dipping sauces- try ranch dressing or hot sauce for a different flavor experience.

  • To cook frozen taquitos, add an extra 2-3 minutes to the cooking time.

  • Want to get creative? Add some shredded cheese, diced onions, or chopped cilantro on top of the taquitos before cooking.
