The best part about each air fryer taquitos recipe is the quick cook time! Most taquitos can cook in the air fryer in about 6-8 minutes, depending on the different brand and size of your air fryer.
For best results, and to ensure even cooking, be sure to place taquitos in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
A great way for extra crisp, try spraying with a thin layer of cooking spray or olive oil (though you can feel free to omit this.)
To reheat leftover taquitos, you can reheat for 2-3 minutes in the air fryer, or place on a baking sheet and reheat in the oven at 350 degrees F for about 8-10 minutes.
