If Taco Tuesday is everyone's favorite night, why just limit your Mexican food intake to Tuesdays??? Enter these Crispy, Cheesy, Chicken Flautas, cooked in your air fryer, and ready to please the whole family. These are made with flour tortillas, which are definitely easier to roll and put together. If you prefer corn tortillas, they will now be called Taquitos. Before trying to roll a taquito, microwave your tortillas to make them pliable enough to roll. They can then be treated the same way as the flautas. Want to control the spice level? These have salsa in the filling, so just select your favorite salsa with a spice level that you know your family can tolerate! You can do this!
