Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, chipotle sauce, green chiles, salt, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Stir well until fully incorporated.
Place the tortillas on a microwave-safe plate and cover them with a towel. Heat in the microwave for 30 seconds. They should be warm and pliable. If need heat for 10-15 seconds more.
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
Add 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken filling along the edge of one tortilla, sprinkle a heaping tablespoon of each of the shredded cheeses, then roll the tortilla up tight.
Place the filled tortilla seam-side-down in the air fryer basket. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
Arrange them in the air fryer basket not touching, in one layer. If needed cook in batches. Spray with cooking spray on top.
Air fry taquitos for 5 minutes. Then flip the taquitos, spray again with cooking spray, and air fry for more than 2 minutes, or until crispy.
Remove and repeat with any remaining taquitos.
Arrange the taquitos on a serving plate and garnish them with the desired toppings. Serve immediately.
