What is an Air Fryer?

Air fryers are essentially small, table-top convection ovens. A coil inside produces high heat that is continually circulated around the food using a fan. This creates crispy results without the extra oil needed for deep frying, making it a healthy alternative. Some air fryers have a basket to place the food in while larger versions look more like toaster ovens, but they both work the same way.

Air Fryer Taquito vs Microwave Taquito

Microwaves can heat your taquitos quickly, but the results can be soggy or rubbery. For the crispiest taquitos, use an air fryer because it crisp them up–and fast–using circulating hot air.

What temperature do you cook frozen taquitos at? Air fry at 400ºF for the crispiest results.

How to Store Taquitos After Cooking

Store taquitos in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

How to Reheat Taquitos in the Air Fryer

To reheat taquitos, place them in your air fryer in a single layer and heat them at 350ºF for 3-5 minutes. The time might vary slightly for different air fryers.

How do you Make Frozen Taquitos Better?

Serve as a side: Air fryer frozen taquitos are the perfect side dish for juicy air fryer chipotle chicken wings, sheet pan chicken fajitas or instant pot chicken tortilla soup.

Make it a main dish: Plate 3 or 4 taquitos and top with salsa, guacamole, shredded cheese, lettuce and diced tomatoes.

Or you can always just dip it! We’ve got a list of delicious dips that take taquitos to a whole new level.
