Combine the chicken, cream cheese, chipotle, salt, cumin, paprika, and garlic powder in a mixing. Using a hand mixer or mixing spoon, beat until combined.
Remove one tortilla at a time and put 2 tablespoons of filling along one edge of the tortilla, then roll the tortilla up tight. Place seam side down in the air fryer basket. Don’t let the taquitos touch, so they will get crispy on all sides. Spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Once the air fryer is filled, place the basket in the air fryer and set at 400° for 5 minutes, flip the taquitos and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Place back in the air fryer for 2-5 minutes. Check after 2 minutes, and if they aren’t crispy enough, fry a minute or two longer.
These are best eaten immediately. They will get soggy after a period of time, but can be placed back in the air fryer to crisp for a minute or two.
You can roll these tight and use a toothpick to keep them closed.
You can spray the taquitos with nonstick cooking spray when you put them in the air fryer and again when you flip them.
Air fryers are all a little different, accordingly, you might need a few minutes longer for your taquitos to get crispy.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
