Air Fryer Pork Taquitos

Air Fryer Pork Taquitos are a great family meal that can quickly be made in the air fryer, skillet or baked in the oven. Corn tortillas are filled with a Southwest ground pork mixture, cheese and cooked until crispy. Top your taquitos with pico de gallo, cilantro, cheese and red onion for the perfect meal!

Air Fryer Pork Taquitos

Method

  1. 1

    Heat the 2 Tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Add the garlic and onion and saute for 2 minutes. Add the ground pork and continue to cook until the pork is cooked through and browned.

  3. 3

    Add the salsa, cumin, chili powder, oregano and 1/4 cup of cheese and stir well.

  4. 4

    Set the tortillas on a cutting board.

  5. 5

    Using a dry skillet or directly on the grates of a gas stove heat the tortillas until they are stoft and pliable. This helps the tortillas so they don't tear when you are rolling them.

  6. 6

    Spoon about 3-4 Tablespoons of the pork mixture into the center of the tortillas. Roll the taquitos and place on a plate seam side down.

  7. 7

    Continue this with each tortillas until they are all rolled.

  8. 8

    Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees for 5 minutes.

  9. 9

    Spray the air fryer with avocado oil or non-stick spray. Use tons and place the taquitos seam sidee down in the air fryer making sure they don't touch.

  10. 10

    Air fry them at 350 degrees F for about 5-7 minutes or until the are the crispiness you desire.

  11. 11

    Remove and serve with the remaining cheese, pico de gallo, red onion, cilantro and green onion.

Notes

Sometimes I will spray my taquitos with avocado oil before adding them to the air fryer to help them get extra crispy. You can easily fry these in a skillet with oil until they are crispy or bake them in the oven at 350 degrees for 5-8 minutes or until they are crispy. Feel free to add other ingredients to the pork mixture. I like chopped vegetables, beans or a blend of cheeses.
