These air fryer chicken taquitos are stuffed with corn, black beans, jalapeños, an array of seasonings, and of course, chicken. They're delicious, fun appetizers you'll love serving at any party!
Prepare the chicken. Add chicken to a pot of chicken broth and bring to a boil. Cook for 10 minutes, drain, and shred the chicken. Add to a large mixing bowl. *Rotisserie chicken can be used as well to save time!*
Add corn, black beans, jalapenos, half of the green chilis, half of the red onion, cumin, chili powder, and pepper to the bowl. Stir to combine. In a separate bowl, whisk cream cheese, sour cream, and juice from 1 lime. Pour into the bowl with chicken and stir well.
Heat tortillas on a skillet 30 seconds per side, or until pliable. *Life hack, place tortillas onto a plate as you heat them and cover with a bowl to lock in the heat.* Add 3 tbsp of chicken mix to the center of each tortilla and spread down the middle in a line. Tightly roll into a taquito and set aside. Repeat 23 times.
Preheat air fryer for 5 minutes at 400*
Place taquitos into the air fryer basket. Spray taquitos lightly with avocado or canola oil. Cook for 4 minutes. Turn, and cook for an additional 4 minutes.
While the taquitos are cooking, prepare avocado salsa. Add sliced avocado, remaining green chilis, red onion, cilantro, salt, and lime juice to a small bowl. Use a fork to mash the avocados and mix ingredients.
Remove taquitos from the air fryer and let cool for 2 minutes.
Serve with avocado salsa and enjoy!
