Air-Fryer Taquitos

Ingredients

• ½ cup red salsa, plus more to serve
• 1 (4 oz) can chopped green chiles, drained
• 2 tsp chili powder
• ½ tsp dried oregano
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp onion powder
• 3 cups leftover shredded beef (like pot roast or braised beef)
• Kosher salt, to taste
• Ground black pepper, to taste
• 24 (6-inch) corn tortillas
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• Cooking spray
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• Guacamole, sour cream, shredded cheese, and extra salsa for serving

Directions

1. Make the filling: In a large bowl, mix salsa, green chiles, chili powder, oregano, garlic powder, and onion powder. Add shredded beef and mix until evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Warm the tortillas: Wrap 2–3 tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute until soft and pliable.
3. Assemble the taquitos: Working with one tortilla at a time, spoon 2–3 tablespoons of the beef mixture onto one end and roll tightly. Brush the edge with egg wash to seal. Repeat until all are rolled.
4. Air Fry: Preheat air fryer to 375°F. Spray basket with cooking spray and brush taquitos with a little oil. Place seam-side down in basket (about 8 per batch). Cook 6–8 minutes, flip, brush with oil again, and cook another 3–5 minutes until golden and crispy.
5. Serve: Serve hot with guacamole, sour cream, cheese, and salsa. Enjoy your crunchy perfection!
