Tips to make the best Buffalo Chicken Taquitos

Buffalo Chicken Taquitos (Air Fryer & Baked)

  • Keep the Warm - Taquitos will remain crispy only if they are kept warm. So, it's best to keep them in the hot baking dish even after they get baked. The hot temperature will keep the Taquitos extra crispy, even after they cool down.
  • Damp the Tortillas - Many times our Tortillas dry out keeping in the refrigerator and they might break apart while rolling. So, for those times, just dampen the Tortillas and then toast them lightly on the stove until pliable. This will make sure your Tortillas never break apart
  • Seal the Taquitos - Many times, Taquitos, tend to unroll. For those times, just seal the Taquitos with a toothpick. You can bake or air fry these Taquitos with the Toothpick and once it's done baking, carefully remove the Toothpicks
  • Don't use Corn Tortillas - I highly recommend you USE FLOUR TORTILLAS, for this recipe. Flour Tortillas crisps up perfectly in the oven or in the air fryer. And Corn Tortillas, generally cook even quicker so chances are they might get burnt in the oven or in the Air Fryer.
