Homemade Chicken Taquitos in the Air Fryer
The air fryer is one of my favorite small appliances in my kitchen. It is right up there with my slow cooker on MUST haves! It is amazing. We use it all the time. We make pizza, chicken fingers, and frozen snacks. They are all better cooked in the air fryer. This past week we made these delicious Air Fryer Chicken & Black Bean Taquitos for lunch. OMG! YUM! These chicken taquitos were super easy to make and they tasted great. We are making them again this weekend for all the football games!
How to Make Mexican Chicken & Black Bean Taquitos in the Air Fryer
As I said, these Mexican Air Fryer Chicken & Black Bean Taquitos are super easy to make. I like to start with a rotisserie chicken. Rotisserie chicken is my secret weapon for easy meals! I always have some pulled rotisserie chicken in the freezer.
The filling for these taquitos is a mixture of shredded chicken, black beans, salsa, and cheese. I used cheddar cheese, but pepper jack or Monterey Jack would be great too!
Place the chicken mixture on top of a corn tortilla and roll up. Place the tortillas seam side down in the air fryer and spray with cooking spray. Cook for 6 or 8 minutes and let the fiesta begin!
I used corn tortillas. If you don't like corn tortillas, you can use flour tortillas. I tested this recipe with flour fajita tortillas and the cooking time is the same. The taquitos tasted great in the flour tortillas, so use either type or some of both!
Can You Freeze Chicken & Black Bean Taquitos?
YES! You can absolutely freeze these Chicken & Black Bean Taquitos. You can freeze them baked or unbaked. If freezing them unbaked, thaw completely and bake as directed below. If you are freezing the leftovers, thaw and either pop in the microwave or put them in the air fryer frozen and bake at 350ºF for about 8 to 10 minutes. Just watch them and make sure they aren't burning.
What to Eat With Chicken Taquitos
These Air Fryer Chicken & Black Bean Taquitos were a huge hit at our house. We both absolutely LOVED them! Top the taquitos with your favorite taco toppings. We like sour cream, lettuce, tomatoes, and extra salsa. We also like them straight out of the air fryer dipped in some Jalapeno Ranch. SO good!
