Instructions

1
In a medium bowl mix together the cream cheese, cheese, onion and spices. Add the chicken and corn kernels. Stir to combine well.
2
Warm the tortillas until pliable (microwave wrapped in a damp towel or heat briefly on a skillet).
3
Spoon about 2–3 tablespoons of filling in a line across the lower third of each tortilla. Tightly roll the tortilla around the filling to form a taquito. Place seam-side down to prevent unrolling.
4
Arrange the taquitos seam-side down on a baking sheet or air fryer basket. Lightly brush or spray all sides with oil to help them crisp evenly.
5
Bake: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Bake for 18–22 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and crisp.
6
Air Fry: Preheat air fryer to 400°F (205°C). Air fry for 8–10 minutes, turning once, until crisp and lightly browned.
7
Enjoy while warm and top with your favorite garnishes.
