- 1 cup shredded cheese Mexican blend
- 1-2 ounces cream cheese
- 14-15 corn tortillas 5-6 inch size

- Heat a small skillet on medium heat. Add one corn tortilla and heat it for 30-45 seconds. Flip the tortilla, then brush the warm surface with cooking oil while the tortilla continues to warm for 30-45 seconds more.14-15 corn tortillas
- Remove the tortilla and immediately flip it onto a plate, oil side down. While the tortilla is still warm, place about 2-3 Tablespoons of the filling in a line in the center of the tortilla. Roll the tortilla around the filling and secure with 1 or 2 toothpicks. Repeat with more tortillas until the filling is gone.
- Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place as many taquitos as you can fit in a single layer in the basket.
- Air fry for 10 minutes at 400F. Turn the taquitos about halfway through the cooking cycle. (or when your air fryer signals you to do so) Remove toothpicks. If making multiple batches, place the cooked taquitos on a plate into a warm oven while continuing to cook.
