Remove frozen taquitos from all packaging and place into the preheated air fryer basket in a single layer
5 Frozen Delimex chicken taquitos
Cook on the air fry setting for 6 minutes at 400°F, pausing halfway through to flip the taquitos over
Delimex taquitos are done when the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Add additional time in 1-2 minute increments if needed to achieve this
Serve with your favorite dipping sauces for an appetizer or snack, or add sides for a complete meal!
Notes
Any flavor of Delimex taquitos works great in your air fryer! These are chicken, but they have other flavors like chicken and cheese, salsa verde, beef, beef and cheese, and even cherry for dessert!
Most typical grocery stores will sell Delimex taquitos in quantities of 23-56 depending on flavor, but you can find them in bulk stores in higher amounts. You can cook as many as you want at a time, so long as they fit in a single layer in your air fryer basket
I typically serve mine with salsa and sour cream, chipotle sauce for some heat, or whipped cream for the dessert variety!
Frozen taquitos come with some oil already on the tortilla, so you don’t need to add any additional oil for cooking. However, if you’d like an extra browned, crisp shell, you can add a mist of oil spray over them before cooking
My Delimex frozen taquitos were perfect after 6 minutes in a Ninja air fryer, confirmed by an instant read thermometer. Other air fryers may vary slightly
Note that corn shells tend to take 1-2 minutes longer to get crispy versus flour so you can add additional cooking time for a crispier shell if you’d like
It’s normal for the seams or ends to leak a little as they cook, so feel free to use some parchment, non stick foil, or a silicone liner in your air fryer to make cleanup easier
Store any leftover Delimex taquitos in an airtight container or zippered bag in your refrigerator for up to 5 days. Do not refreeze
Reheat taquitos in the air fryer for 2-4 minutes at 350°F or until heated through
Exact nutritional values will vary based on flavor of ingredients, any sauces or sides added, and quantity consumed, so please consider this a guideline only
