These air fryer taquitos are always a good idea for any occasion. They work perfectly for family gatherings because they are easy to make in large batches and everyone loves them.
I can prepare them ahead of time and just pop them in the air fryer when guests arrive. For storage, keep any leftover taquitos in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
To reheat, just put them back in the air fryer for a few minutes until they are hot and crispy again. You can also freeze the assembled uncooked taquitos on a baking sheet, then transfer them to a freezer bag.
When you are ready, cook them straight from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the air fryer time. Serve them with your favorite dips and watch them disappear.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Air Fryer Taquitos
1. Can I use flour tortillas instead of corn tortillas?
Yes, you can use flour tortillas, but they will not get as crispy as corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are traditional and hold up better in the air fryer. If you use flour, just keep an eye on them as they may cook faster.
2. How do I keep the taquitos from unrolling in the air fryer?
Make sure to roll them tightly and place them seam side down in the air fryer basket. You can also use a toothpick to secure them, but I find that placing them seam down works well enough.
3. Can I make these taquitos ahead of time?
Absolutely. You can assemble the taquitos and refrigerate them for up to 24 hours before air frying. Just add an extra minute or two to the cooking time if they are cold.
4. What dipping sauces go best with these taquitos?
Sour cream, salsa, guacamole, and queso are all excellent choices. My family loves them with a simple chipotle ranch dressing made from mayo, sour cream, and chipotle powder.
5. How do I reheat leftover taquitos?
The best way to reheat them is back in the air fryer at 350 degrees for 3 to 4 minutes. This will restore their crispiness. The microwave will make them soggy.
