Air Fryer Taquitos with beans and cheese are delicious and so easy to make. You can make them ahead of time and then place them in the fryer for 10 minutes to have a great appetizer, snack, or dinner.
Air Fryer Taquitos
The invention of the air fryer has been one of the best things to happen to my kitchen. I can make fried food much healthier without the high fat and calories. Do you have an air fryer yet?
This is a way better tasting recipe than those frozen taquitos you can get at the grocery store. And honestly, they don’t take a lot more work than those you could buy in a box. All you really need is some tortillas, beans and seasoning!
Ingredients You’ll Need
(full amounts in recipe box below)
- Tortillas
- Pinto Beans
- Onion
- Taco Sauce
- Cumin
- Chili Powder
- Garlic Salt
- Pepper
- Brown Sugar
- Cheddar Jack Cheese
How To Make Taquitos In The Air Fryer
- Boil. Place all your ingredients, minus the cheese and tortillas, in a large saucepan. Bring it to a boil and simmer.
- Assemble. Smash the beans, then spread the mixture on a slightly heated tortilla shell. Add cheese over beans and roll the tortilla tight.
- Cool. Put the taquitos in the freezer for at least two hours.
- Cook. Place in the air fryer ten minutes and enjoy.
You can prepare these ahead of time so you’ve got them all ready to go for dinner later or the next day. If you want to keep them stored longer, wrap them up in aluminum foil and keep in a tight freezer bag until you’re ready to cook.
