9 steps
- 1Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (176.7°C).
- 2In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, taco seasoning, nonfat Greek yogurt, low-fat cheddar cheese, and green chilies. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- 3Warm 5 tortillas at a time as mentioned in the important note to keep them pliable.
- 4Place about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto each warmed tortilla, then roll them up tightly.
- 5Arrange the rolled taquitos seam side down in the air fryer basket. You may need to do this in batches, depending on the size of your air fryer.
- 6Lightly spray the tops of the taquitos with cooking spray to help them crisp up.
- 7Air fry for 8-10 minutes, or until the taquitos are golden brown and crispy, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- 8Remove from the air fryer and let cool slightly before serving.
- 9Garnish with hot sauce, low-calorie ranch, and chives as desired. 16 oz (450g) cooked skinless rotisserie chicken, shredded 1 packet (28g) low sodium taco seasoning 1/2 cup (120g) nonfat Greek yogurt -1/2 cup Low fat cheddar cheese 4oz (115g) Green chilies Hot sauce | Low cal ranch | Chives, for garnish To ensure your corn tortilla shells stay intact, try heating up only half (5) tortillas at a time. Wrap them in a damp paper towel, then in foil, and bake them in the oven at 350°F for 10 minutes. This method helps maintain their structural integrity.
