Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Place chicken strips in a sealable container and add marinade. Seal and allow to marinate for 2 hours.
Step 2
Drain off marinade and discard. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook chicken strips until browned, 6 to 7 minutes. Add thawed peppers and onions and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more.
Step 3
Transfer chicken strips to a cutting board and chop into smaller pieces. Add chopped chicken back to the peppers and onions; stir to combine.
Step 4
Preheat an heat air fryer to 370 degrees F (187 degrees C) for 5 minutes.
Step 5
Place tortillas in a tortilla bag. Microwave 5 tortillas at a time for 30 seconds.
Step 6
Spray each side of warmed tortillas with about 1/2 teaspoon oil and lay on a cutting board. Place 1 to 2 tablespoons chicken filling on top and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon cheese blend. Roll taquitos up tightly.
Step 7
Place taquitos seam-side down in the air fryer basket and air fry for 5 minutes. Increase air fryer temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and air fry for 5 minutes more.
