Instructions


4 Preheat the air fryer.
3 Combine the shredded chicken, shredded cheese, and taco seasoning in a bowl.
5 Stack the tortillas on a plate (or another microwave-safe surface) and microwave for 15 seconds. Then, flip and microwave for an additional 15 seconds. 
0 Working one at a time, spray (or brush) each tortilla with oil, then flip it over and fill with about 2 tablespoons of chicken filling, then tightly roll the tortilla and press down on it to help seal it. Place the taquito seam-side-down in the air fryer basket, then repeat for the remaining 15 taquitos.
1 Air fry at 380°F for 7-8 minutes, then flip the taquitos and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until browned and crisp.
2 For the sauce, blend the sour cream and salsa until fully combined, then serve alongside the taquitos.
