Air Fryer Taquitos #MultiCookerMonday

The Teen is a huge Taquito fan and I usually keep a box of store bought in the freezer for her to heat up for herself and friends.  One day the box in the freezer was empty and I had just completed the Costco run where I normally purchase them.  So onto Google I went and found this easy, quick air fryer recipe.  The Teen said they are even better than the store bought version.

Join us for Multi-Cooker Monday..................

Sue of Palatable Pastime invites us to join her on the 3rd Monday of each month in sharing recipes that use our small kitchen appliances.

Even though I am retired and home most of the time, especially since this COVID pandemic, I still use my small kitchen appliances all the time.  I love my slow cooker when making braises as I don't have to keep an eye on it.  I can put it in there and forget about it.  I love my instant pot for those days when I forgot to take anything out of the freezer or forgot a braise into the slow cooker in the morning but still want to make an inexpensived cut of meat, mouth wateringly tender.

And I love the air fryer on my Breyville oven for the crispy deliciousness it offers without the mess and health concerns of deep frying.  

One of the things I like about making my own versions of foods that are often bought prepackaged is that I know exactly what is going into it.  I know that my beef is from my friend Vicki's farm, where they are pasture raised and treated humanely with no unnecessary antibiotics.   I also like that they were not deep fried before being frozen, even though when we reheat the packaged version, we do so in the air fryer.

Once the filling is made it is just a matter of filling, rolling and placing onto the air fryer rack. I lined mine with parchment, and then sprayed the taquitos with cooking spray, before putting them into the air fryer. 

They take less than 10 minutes in the air fryer to cook and get crisp.  I served them up with some of my Zesty Peach Salsa and sour cream.  Delicious!!!
