Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken Taquitos

Back in September, I purchased an Air Fryer. This is the best kitchen appliance I've ever bought! Why? I've been hearing so many things about them and how air fryers are all the rage right now. I've just been cooking up frozen food for now. Just about any type of Ore-Ida product you can think of I've made in the air fryer.

Air fryers just make frozen food taste better and crispier than what an oven can do. I find that cooking certain foods like potatoes or vegetables a lot of the recipes use oil for them. Air Fryers are made for oil-less cooking. If you're trying to eat a little healthier and cut out oil from your diet then by all means purchase this product!

The first recipe from my site I tested in the air fryer was my famous Buffalo Chicken Taquitos recipe. That recipe calls for flour tortillas and I used corn instead of flour. They turned out so good and crispy, almost better than the ones that I've made in the oven dare I say? Do you love your air fryer also? What type of recipes have you made in it before? Stay tuned for more air frying recipes. 🙂

How to Make Buffalo Chicken Taquitos

1. Mix cream cheese and buffalo sauce in a medium-sized bowl until well combined.
2. Stir in chicken until well combined.
3. Place 2-3 Tablespoons of mixture spread into a thin line onto the center of corn tortilla and roll them up. 
4. Spray the bottom of your air fryer basket with cooking spray and place the taquitos in a single row on the basket. Do not stack them.
5. Set your air fryer at 400 degrees F for 7 to 10  minutes or until taquitos are golden brown and crispy.
6. Serving Size: 1 taquito. 

Tips for using Air Fryers 

Preheating: Some air fryers require preheating and some do not. Be sure to check your air fryer manual. Mine does not require preheating. If the food ever burns or doesn’t cook properly this could be why the recipe didn’t work for you. 

Overcrowding: Do not overcrowd the basket. Some food will not cook properly or all the way through. 

Oil: One of the reasons why air fryers are so great is because the food doesn’t need a lot of oil. Just a small amount! 

What air fryers are best?

I've had 3 or 4 different air fryers or the past 5 years and each one of them has worked very well with the air fryer recipes on this site. If you want to be able to cook more food for your family at once then get an air fryer with a large basket such as 5.3 quarts. Look for ones that say nonstick on them and has multiple program settings.

Power XL Air Fryer 5.3 Quart Basket. - This was my very first air fryer.

Our 5.3QT Power Air-Fryer comes in handy in preparing amazing meals from your cookbook, and frying a variety of dishes, such as: French fries, chicken, steak, roasts, fish tacos and sticks, waffle fries, pies, pudding and donuts.

Ninja Foodi Grill and Air Fryer - This air fryer works very well too but the air fryer setting doesn't go below 300 degrees. If there's a recipe that calls for lower temperatures you have to use the bake setting. It air frys, roasts, grills, and dehydrates food.

Cosori 4 Qt Air Fryer- This air fryer doesn't require any preheating and has several different functions for cooking chicken, meat, frozen foods, etc. There are 5 different functions.
