Air Fryer Chicken Taquitos (Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free)

• 2 cupscooked chicken — shredded — rotisserie or poached thighs
• 12corn tortillas — 6-inch, naturally gluten-free
• 1 tspground cumin
• 1 tspsmoked paprika
• 1 tspgarlic powder
• 1/2 tspfine sea salt
• 1/3 cupsalsa verde — to bind the filling
• 2 tbspchopped cilantro
• 1.5 tbspneutral oil — for brushing

Method

1. 01

   Toss the shredded chicken with the cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, salsa verde, and cilantro until it clings together in a moist, well-seasoned tangle.

2. 02

   Warm the corn tortillas for 20 seconds under a damp towel in the microwave — cold tortillas crack when you roll them. Spoon a line of filling along one edge and roll each up tight, seam-side down.

3. 03

   Brush the rolled taquitos all over with oil and arrange seam-side down in a single layer, not touching. Air fry at 400°F for 12 minutes, flipping at 7, until deep golden and crackly.

4. 04

   Let them sit two minutes so the shells set, then serve right away with extra salsa verde or guacamole. They're crispest in the first ten minutes.
