Time: 30 minutes
Makes: 12 taquitos
Ingredients:
- 4 cups chicken, cooked and shredded (leftover or rotisserie chicken can be used)
- 1 cup blended salsa of choice
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or Mexican cheese
- 12 flour or corn tortillas (corn tend to crisp up better)
- Chosen Foods Avocado Oil or Avocado Oil Spray
- Optional toppings: Chosen Foods Guacamole, shredded lettuce, cilantro and salsa
Directions:
- In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken, Simmer Sauce and cheese.
- Warm up the tortillas, as you would for enchiladas, so they don't break.
- Evenly divide the chicken mixture between the tortillas and roll them up, setting aside to fry.
- Spray the outside of the taquitos with avocado oil (or brush on) to ensure crispiness.
- Work in batches to prevent crowding the air fryer. Place taquitos in the air fryer basket and fry them seam side down for about 10 minutes or until crispy at 375°F.
