1. Can I cook more than one type of taquito at the same time?

Absolutely! If you have both beef and chicken taquitos, you can cook them together. Just make sure they’re in a single layer, and check for doneness since some might cook faster than others.

2. Do I need to thaw the taquitos first?

Nope! Frozen taquitos go straight from the freezer to the air fryer. Thawing will mess with the texture and could make them soggy.

3. Can I use flour taquitos instead of corn?

Yes! Flour taquitos cook beautifully in the air fryer. They might even get a bit crispier than corn taquitos, so keep an eye on them.

4. How do I store leftovers?

If (and that’s a big if ) you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 375°F for 3-4 minutes to bring back the crunch.

5. What about reheating?

Reheating in the air fryer is the way to go. It’ll keep the taquitos crispy, unlike the microwave, which can turn them into a soggy mess.

6. Can I make homemade taquitos in the air fryer?

Yes! If you want to roll your own taquitos, you can use this same method. Just make sure they’re rolled tightly and lightly sprayed with olive oil for maximum crunch.

7. Can I add cheese to my taquitos before air frying?

While it’s best to add cheese as a topping after cooking, you can sprinkle some on during the last minute of air frying for a melted finish. Be careful not to let it burn.

8. Are air fryer taquitos gluten-free?

That depends on the brand and type of taquitos you buy. Check the packaging to see if they’re made with gluten-free ingredients.
