Last night we made these chicken taquitos in the air fryer, and they were a hit!

For this recipe, you will need 2-3 cups of shredded chicken.  I started by making this in the slow cooker.  You could also grab a rotisserie chicken or this would be a great use of leftover chicken from another meal!

I made green chicken this time….1-2 cups of green salsa over 1-2 lbs of chicken breast in the slow cooker for 3-4 hours on high.  It gives the chicken a little more flavor, but if you think your family won’t like the green salsa, just use water or chicken stock. 

I am trying to use my air fryer more and in turn, share more air fryer recipes here!  It is a fairly large appliance, and I need to be using it more! It really is SO easy and great for making healthier versions of some of our favorite dishes!

Ingredients:

4 oz of cream cheese, softened or at room temperature

1/2 cup salsa of your choice

1 cup of the cheese of your choice (cheddar, Mexican blend, etc.)

1 teaspoon chili powder 

12 mini tortillas-we used corn

Non-stick cooking spray 

Salsa, guacamole, sour cream, queso, or whatever your family likes for dipping/toppings!

You can find my pico de gallo and guacamole recipes HERE. 

Directions:

Mix chicken, cheeses, salsa and chili powder in a bowl.

Lay 12 tortillas out flat and divide your mixture into the tortillas.  Wrap them tightly.

Spray the inside of your air fryer with non-stick cooking spray.  Place taquitos inside in a single layer.  Air fry for 12-14 minutes at 400 degrees. 

I hope your family enjoys these air fryer chicken taquitos!
