Making taquitos in the oven

The recipe is written using an air fryer to crisp up the tortilla shell. Air fryers are popular right now and can achieve that crunch without heating up the whole oven.

However, don’t despair if you don’t have and air fryer. You can still crisp them up in the oven.

Just like we did for creamy chicken taquitos and buffalo chicken taquitos, just use a spritz of cooking spray or a brush of melted butter and a trip to the hot oven. You can even skip this step if you really want to.

Just stick your tray of taquitos in a 425°F oven for 15-20 minutes and you should be good to go. They will emerge melty and delicious.
