Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon oil
• 1 pack mini street tortillas (approx 12cm)
• 500g chicken breast cut into small cubes
• 1 x 30g taco spice mix
• 1 x 100g jar taco sauce
• Grated cheese

Salsa and sides

• Red onion, finely diced
• Red capsicum, finely diced
• Tomatoes, finely diced
• Corn kernels, fresh or charred corn on the cob
• Cucumber, finely diced
• Coriander, finely shredded
• Greek yoghurt/sour cream
• Lime wedge
• Salt and pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat a frypan over high heat and drizzle with a little oil.
2. Cook the chicken breast for a few minutes until cooked in the middle and golden all over.
3. Sprinkle taco spice mix over the chicken and pour in ½ cup water. Stir until all pieces of chicken are coated. Cook for a further 2 minutes. Allow to cool.
4. Place 4 tortillas on a clean plate and put in the microwave for 20 seconds to warm up. Lay tortillas on a chopping board (I could fit 4 on mine) and spread taco sauce over the tortillas. Spoon some chicken over one end of the tortilla and add grated cheese. Roll up to form a cigar shape and place on a dinner plate. Continue with remaining ingredients.
5. Preheat the air fryer at 200ºC for 2 minutes.
6. Lay Taquitos seam side down in the air fryer (You may like to use the double layer accessory to cook more at the same time) Cook for 5-10 minutes.
7. Serve with your favourite sides.

Notes

For oven baked:

• Follow the above instructions steps 1-4.
• Preheat the oven 200ºC in step 1.
• Place taquitos on a lined baking tray seam side down. Cook for10-15 minutes or until lightly golden and crispy on top
