Preparation
- Place cream cheese in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high until softened but not melted, 15 to 20 seconds.
- Add chopped chipotle pepper, teaspoon of sauce, diced green chiles, chili powder, ground cumin, and kosher salt to the cream cheese. Stir and smash together to combine.
- Add shredded chicken and shredded cheese to the bowl and stir and mash to combine.
- Heat air fryer to 400ºF. Meanwhile, assemble the taquitos.
Assembly
- For corn tortillas: Stack and microwave 5 tortillas covered with a damp paper towel until warmed, about 30 seconds. Coat one lightly with cooking spray.
- Place 3 tablespoons of filling across the lower half of the tortilla and roll tightly, securing with a toothpick.
- For flour tortillas: Coat one lightly with cooking spray, place filling, roll tightly, and secure with a toothpick.
- Repeat assembling as many taquitos as will fit in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Place seam-side down.
- Air fry until crisp and ends are browned, about 5 to 10 minutes.
- Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining taquitos. Let cool for 2 minutes and remove toothpicks before serving.
