Instructions
Make Air Fryer Chicken Taquitos:

In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, shredded Mexican blend cheese, and taco seasoning. Mix until well incorporated. - Step 2: Warm the Tortillas
Warm the corn tortillas in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds until soft to prevent cracking. - Step 3: Fill and Roll the Taquitos
Take one tortilla, place about 2 tablespoons of the chicken filling near one end, and roll tightly, tucking in the sides. - Step 4: Air Fry the Taquitos
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Lightly spray the basket, place the taquitos seam-side down, spray the tops, and cook for 8-10 minutes until golden brown. - Step 5: Serve with Toppings
Remove the taquitos from the air fryer, let cool for a minute, and serve with your choice of toppings.
