Ingredients
- Frozen chicken taquitos
- Optional: Cooking spray or a light brush of oil for extra crispiness
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). This usually takes about 3-5 minutes.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray or brush it with a little oil. This helps prevent sticking and adds extra crispiness.
- Place the frozen taquitos in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Make sure they don’t overlap to ensure even cooking.
- Set the air fryer temperature to 400°F (200°C) and the timer for 8-10 minutes.
- Cook the taquitos for 8-10 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking to ensure they crisp up evenly on all sides.
- After cooking, check for the desired crispiness. If needed, add 1-2 more minutes.
- Remove the taquitos from the air fryer and let them cool for a minute before serving.
Notes
Always ensure that the air fryer is preheated to the correct temperature before adding the frozen taquitos. This step is crucial for achieving even cooking and the desired crispiness. Also, avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket, as this can lead to uneven cooking.
