Authentic Pico de Gallo

 How To Make Air Fryer Chicken Taquitos

Step 1. Place the chicken, cream cheese, pepper jack, pico de gallo, taco seasoning, and taco sauce into a mixing bowl and combine until fully incorporated using a rubber spatula. Lay the tortillas out and place 3 Tbsp of the mixture on the bottom half of the tortilla. Use olive oil to brush over the remaining space of the tortilla about 1 inch away from the mixture. Begin to roll the tortilla into a tight roll until the seam is at the bottom. Continue rolling until all the tortillas are used.

Step 2. Set the fryer to 380 degrees and use nonstick cooking spray to grease the basket before adding the taquitos. Fit as many as you can without them touching each other. Brush with olive oil and cook for about 7 minutes. Continue in batches if needed until all of them are cooked. Add Pico de Gallo, hot sauce, salsa, Verde, cilantro, and shredded cheese if desired, and serve. Enjoy!
