Taquitos are crispy, rolled "little tacos" that are usually deep-fried. Part of what makes this Air-Fryer Chicken Taquitos recipe so much better? You guessed it, the taquitos are air-fried instead! Less work, less mess and more flavor, thanks to the spicy enchilada sauce in the chicken and cheese filling. You only need 5 ingredients! Just mix some enchilada sauce with cooked chicken and Cheddar cheese, roll up in corn tortillas, place into the air fryer basket, then air-fry until crisp and golden brown. Stir more enchilada sauce into sour cream for a creamy, spicy dipping sauce and you can have Air-Fryer Chicken Taquitos in less than 25 minutes.
