- 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.
Enjoy!
