Equipment
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
- Box Jose Ole Taquitos
- Cooking Spray (Optional)
- Dipping Sauces Consider salsa, guacamole, sour cream, or queso for serving
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to preheat for 3-5 minutes. This step ensures the taquitos start cooking immediately and evenly.
- Jose Ole Taquitos: Take the frozen taquitos and place them in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Ensure they are not touching to allow even air circulation.
- Cooking Spray (Optional): Lightly mist the taquitos with cooking spray before air frying. This step is optional but helps achieve an extra-crispy exterior.
- Air Fryer Cooking Time: Cook the taquitos for 8-10 minutes, depending on your desired level of crispiness. The taquitos should be golden brown and crunchy.
- Shake Basket: At the 5-minute mark, pause the air fryer and shake the basket. This ensures that the taquitos cook evenly on all sides, preventing any soggy spots.
- Serve with Dipping Sauces: Once cooked, carefully remove the taquitos and serve them hot with your favorite dipping sauces like salsa, guacamole, or sour cream for added flavor.
