After pre-heating, cook taquitos for an 8-10 minutes, or fully cooked and golden brown or your desired level of crispiness. While the taquitos cook, prep any additional toppings you want served with your taquitos.

Notes

Don't Skip Preheating – It is recommended for best results when cooking your food.

Make sure there is Plenty of Space! - It's tempting to pack as many taquitos as possible into your air fryer. But, don't overcrowd or stack taquitos as air fryers need room to circulate air around to get them fully cooked and golden brown.

Cooking Time Can Vary - Not all air fryers and taquitos are the same! You may to watch your food closely toward the end of the cooking cycle. Also, corn tortillas with crisp up differently than flour and all taquitos are not the same size, you maybe need to adjust your time by a minute or two depending on these factors. Cook in batches if needed!
