Name: Easy Air Fryer Chicken Fajita Taquitos Recipe
Total time: 2 hrs 45 mins
Ingredients: 2 (4 ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips; 1.25 cups mojo criollo marinade; 1 pound corn tortillas; 1 (14 ounce) package fire-roasted peppers and onion blend (such as Trader Joe's®), thawed; 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend; cooking spray

Instructions

Place chicken strips in a resealable container and pour marinade over them. Seal the container and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
Remove chicken from marinade and discard the used marinade. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken strips and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6 to 7 minutes. Add thawed peppers and onions to the skillet and continue to cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, until tender.
Move the cooked chicken strips to a cutting board and chop them into smaller, bite-sized pieces. Return the chopped chicken to the skillet with the peppers and onions. Stir to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
Preheat your air fryer to 370 degrees F (187 degrees C) for approximately 5 minutes.
To soften the tortillas, place 5 tortillas at a time in a tortilla bag or wrap in a damp paper towel. Microwave for 30 seconds to make them pliable.
Lightly spray each side of the warmed tortillas with about 1/2 teaspoon of oil. Lay the tortillas on a cutting board and place 1 to 2 tablespoons of the chicken filling on each tortilla. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of your favorite cheese blend. Roll the taquitos tightly, ensuring the filling is enclosed.
Arrange the taquitos seam-side down in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Air fry at 370 degrees F (187 degrees C) for 5 minutes. Increase the air fryer temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and continue to air fry for another 5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
