Ingredients
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 -2 chipotle peppers in adobo (depending on spice preference)
- 1 tbsp adobo sauce (from can)
- 2 tomatoes (diced)
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano (Mexican oregano preferred)
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1/2 cup chicken stock (low/no sodium preferred)
- 2 cups mexican cheese blend (shredded)
- 20 small corn tortillas (warmed)
- 1 avocado (roughly chopped)
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro (roughly chopped)
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 lime (juice only)
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 1/4 medium onion (chopped)
- hot sauce (as desired)
Steps
-
Add the garlic, chipotles and sauce, tomatoes, oregano, and cumin to a blender and blend until smooth.
-
Add the sauce to a pan with the shredded chicken and chicken stock. Simmer, covered for 10 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. Set aside.
-
Warm your tortilla shells in the microwave to make them pliable. Rub both sides with oil (or spray with cooking spray), lay flat and top with chicken and a layer of cheese near one end. Gently roll the tortilla and place seam side down into a foil lined air fryer basket.
-
Air fry on 400°F for 6-7 minutes, flipping once, or until the tortilla is crispy and the cheese is melted. Repeat as needed. The taquitos will continue to crisp up as they cool. Let rest on a rack while you make the remaining taquitos.
-
To make the lime avocado crema, place all the ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
