  • Cook Time: 10 mins
  • Total Time: 25 mins
  • Servings: 12
  • Yield: 12 taquitos

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Working with one tortilla at a time, place 2 tablespoons of shredded chicken on one end of the tortilla. Place 1 tablespoon shredded cheese on top of the chicken. Roll to form the taquito, starting at the filled side. Use 2 toothpicks to secure the taquito along the seam. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
