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!
Method
-
1
Heat the 2 Tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
-
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
Add the salsa, cumin, chili powder, oregano and 1/4 cup of cheese and stir well.
-
4
Set the tortillas on a cutting board.
-
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
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
Continue this with each tortillas until they are all rolled.

Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees for 5 minutes.

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.

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

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.
