Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 2 (4 oz each) cans green chiles, drained
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 12-15 small corn or flour tortillas
  • Canola or vegetable pan spray
  • Optional toppings: sour cream, diced tomatoes, lime wedges, and cilantro

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, combine chicken, chiles, cream cheese, cheddar, and garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Heat tortillas 15-30 seconds on each side in a large skillet over medium-high heat until tortillas are warmed. Alternatively, microwave tortillas 30 seconds.
  • Place 2 tablespoons chicken filling on each tortilla, roll up tightly, and place seam-side down on a sheet pan.
  • Preheat air fryer to 400F for 3 minutes. Spray basket well with pan spray and working in batches, arrange taquitos in a single layer. Spray well with pan spray and air fry taquitos 6-8 minutes, flipping once halfway through cooking until taquitos are crispy and filling is bubbly. Repeat cooking with remaining taquitos.
  • Serve taquitos warm with sour cream, tomatoes, lime wedges, and cilantro if desired. Enjoy!
