Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 can cherry pie filling (21-ounce)
Taquitos
- 12 medium soft flour tortillas
- 4 tablespoons butter (melted)
- 2 teaspoons powdered sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Fill the tortillas. Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface and spoon about 2 tablespoons of cherry pie filling across the center of each tortilla. Be careful not to overfill to ensure you can roll them tightly.
- Roll the taquitos. Roll each tortilla tightly around the filling to form taquitos, making sure the filling is enclosed.
- Brush with butter. Using a pastry brush, coat the outside of each rolled taquito with melted butter. This helps them crisp up beautifully in the air fryer.
- Arrange in air fryer. Place the taquitos seam side down in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Make sure they aren’t stacked or overlapping to allow for even cooking.
- Air fry. Cook the taquitos at 350°F (175°C) for 9 to 11 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
- Serve. Remove the taquitos carefully, sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
- Ensure the tortillas are soft and pliable to prevent cracking when rolling.
- Do not overfill the tortillas to make rolling easier and avoid filling leakage.
- Brush generously with melted butter for maximum crispiness.
- Serve immediately for best texture; they are best enjoyed warm and fresh.
- Powdered sugar is optional but adds a nice sweet finish.
