Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for brushing
- 1 medium white onion, sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 can (14.5-ounce) fire-roasted tomatoes
- ¼ cup adobo sauce
- ½ teaspoon chipotle powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 cups shredded leftover or rotisserie chicken
- 8 6-inch corn tortillas
- ½ cup shredded Oaxaca cheese
- Olive oil for coating
- Sour cream, chopped fresh cilantro, and crumbled
- Cotija cheese, for garnish
Preparation
- 1. Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the onion and garlic, and cook until translucent and softened,
- but not browned, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, adobo sauce,
- chipotle powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook until the
- spices are aromatic, 2 to 3 minutes longer. Add the shredded chicken
- and toss in the sauce. Cook until heated through.
- 2. Wrap the tortillas in a damp towel, and microwave for about
- 15 seconds. Keep them covered until using.
- 3. Place the first tortilla flat on your work surface. Place about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture across the lower half of the tortilla.
- Sprinkle with some of the Oaxaca cheese, then tightly roll up the tortilla. Use a toothpick to secure the tortilla. Add to the basket and
- repeat with the remaining tortillas.
- 4. Once the taquitos are assembled and in the basket, brush with a thin
- coating of olive oil. Place the basket in the AirFryer. Select AirFry, and
- set the time to 8 minutes and the temperature to 350°F. Press Start/
- Stop.
- 5. When the taquitos are done cooking, remove them from the basket.
- Top with a drizzle of sour cream and a sprinkle of cilantro and cotija
- cheese.
