Tips

For super crispy taquitos, brush them with olive oil before air frying.

You may also use ground beef, turkey, or tofu in lieu of the chicken.

For a hotter variation, add a few dashes of hot sauce to the filling.   

Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, such as salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.
