Notes

*Nutritional facts provided are only an estimate, accuracy is not guaranteed. 
  • Cook in batches as needed. My Philips XXL air fryer makes 14 taquitos in two batches. 
  • Make sure the air fryer basket and tray is clean prior to cooking to prevent the air fryer from smoking up. 
  • Make sure to spread the beef filling to the edges of the tortillas, the meat will shrink down when cooking.
