Ingredients

  • vegetable oil (1 teaspoon)
  • diced onion (2 tablespoons)
  • garlic (1 clove)
  • green chiles (2 tablespoons)
  • Mexican-style hot tomato sauce (2 tablespoons)
  • shredded rotisserie chicken (1 cup)
  • shredded Mexican cheese blend (0.5 cup)
  • Neufchâtel cheese (2 tablespoons)
  • salt (0 )
  • black pepper (0 )
  • corn tortillas (6 )
  • avocado oil cooking spray (0 )

Instructions

  1. Gather all ingredients.
  2. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook until soft and translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add green chiles and Mexican tomato sauce; stir to combine. Add shredded chicken, Mexican cheese blend, and Neufchâtel cheese. Cook and stir until cheeses have melted and the mixture is warmed through, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat tortillas in a skillet or directly on the grates of a gas stove until soft and pliable. Place 3 tablespoons of chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla. Fold over and roll into taquitos.
  4. Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place taquitos in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching, and mist with avocado oil.
  5. Cook until golden brown, 6 to 9 minutes. Turn taquitos over, mist with avocado oil, and air fry until crispy, 3 to 5 minutes.
  6. Serve and enjoy!
