Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, chipotle sauce, green chiles, salt, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Stir well until fully incorporated.

Step 2

Place the tortillas on a microwave-safe plate and cover them with a towel. Heat in the microwave for 30 seconds. They should be warm and pliable. If need heat for 10-15 seconds more.

Step 3

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.

Step 4

Add 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken filling along the edge of one tortilla, sprinkle a heaping tablespoon of each of the shredded cheeses, then roll the tortilla up tight.

Step 5

Place the filled tortilla seam-side-down in the air fryer basket. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

Step 6

Arrange them in the air fryer basket not touching, in one layer. If needed cook in batches. Spray with cooking spray on top.

Step 7

Air fry taquitos for 5 minutes. Then flip the taquitos, spray again with cooking spray, and air fry for more than 2 minutes, or until crispy.

Step 8

Remove and repeat with any remaining taquitos.

Step 9

Arrange the taquitos on a serving plate and garnish them with the desired toppings. Serve immediately.
